Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif have been acquitted by the tribunal appointed to review their drug ban appeal. The decision was made two to one with Hasib Ahsan and Justice Fakhruddin Ebrahim in favour of the acquittal.
"This appeal committee [therefore] holds that Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif will not be deemed to have committed a doping offence," Ibrahim said. "The ban and punishment imposed by the earlier tribunal is hereby set aside as being contrary to the provision of laws."
Shoaib, banned for two years, and Asif, for one year, appealed after they were found guilty for testing positive for the banned anabolic steroid nandrolone in dope tests that were internally conducted by the PCB at the end of September.
The lawyers of the two players presented arguments before the tribunal headed by Justice Fakhruddin G Ebrahim and including Hasib Ahsan, a former Test player, and Dr Danish Zaheer, the president of the Pakistan Sports Medicine Federation. Shoaib and Asif were twice made to fill out questionnaires sent by the members of the tribunal regarding their use of the drug.
