Mohammad Asif tests positive for illegal drug

If he was taking something as a painkiller there are special exemption certificates, can't remember what it was called. It's on CricInfo somewhere.

Those tests allow for how much the body can produce, naive to think other wise.

Its called TUE.[something of of Exemption]
 
Lets just get over the fact that He’s committed a sin, and he’s stuck in the Game for rest of his life, and that his punishment (so it's better not to player hate him).
 
Clearly though, drug testing is viable on an international scale, as it is conducted through many international sporting bodies. Olympic penalties for drugs do not vary according to the country in which the Olympic Games are held.
Likewise, players who are found to be doping in the Olympics aren't banned from their domestic competitions--it is the prerogative of the domestic association to ban them. The ICC can only ban players from ICC events. In cricket all other series are bilateral agreements between the two teams competing and it is usually up to the host board to apply a punishment.

Does the ICC not run all international cricket, or at least have some sort of important role in it?
The ICC runs international cricket in the sense that they are the official governing body and they have a huge role in the organization and development of the game. However, as you will see with the current India-England tour issue, they have no say as to how bilateral series' are played (apart from the 2-test rule). Hence, making rules about the series is out of their area of jurisdiction, apart from all the rules that have been agreed upon by the member boards, of which there is evidently no doping policy.
 
Any more posts that are completely off topic and revolved around politics an include telling people to 'shut up' will result in the closure of the thread.

I am sick of members telling others to shut up.
 
Whats the 'B' sample thing ? Was the 'B' sample collected on the same day ? Or wasit collected on any other day ?
 
I believe both samples are taken on the same day. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't see any point in taking the samples on different days/weeks. No reliability if you did.

The 'B' sample is a safeguard against abnormal results. 9/10 it will produce the same results as the 'A' sample. It's given as a choice to the accused.
 
Could Asif benefit from technical mistake?

Danish Zaheer, a medical expert who was part of the tribunal that overturned Shoaib Akhtar and Asif's drug-related ban in 2006, criticised the IPL for violating the WADA regulations that stipulate a player's name should not be made public till his B sample tests positive.

"The IPL should not have made a public disclosure until Mohammad Asif's 'B' urine sample was checked in the presence of Asif or his legal and medical representative," Zaheer said.

The World Anti-Doping Code Article 7.2 gives the player the right to ask for his 'B' sample to be analysed while Article 14.2 says the player's name can be publicly disclosed "no earlier than the completion of the administrative review described in Articles 7.1 and 7.2".

"This deviation from the WADA regulation can now help Asif win his case in appeal if his medical and legal representative fight his case well," Zaheer said.
