Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif has been summoned for a B sample test after he was found guilty of doping during the Indian Premier League and was also caught with some alleged contrabrand drugs in the Dubai airport earlier. The test of the B sample will be conducted in WADA laboratories in Switzerland.The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has suspended Asif from all the board’s cricket activities till the charges are not proved wrong. The date for the B sample tests is fixed tentatively for 28th of July.
Asif had tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone, his lawyer disclosed to reporters yesterday.
Traces of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, was found in Asif`s sample when he first tested positive just before the Champions Trophy in 2006 and was subsequently sent back home from India.
This is the second time that he has tested positive for nandrolone and now faces the possibility of being banned for a minimum of two years as per WADA regulations.
