Appeal verdict soon

It appears that the PCB wants a quick decision on the Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif situation, vis-a-vis the appeal. With a decision coming in the next few days, I have a strong feeling that Asif will see his suspension either revoked or cut to 6 months. More interesting, however, will be what Shoaib Akhtar does, as in his recent television interviews, and his own experts, it appears that he intends to make the claim that with his legal supplements and his high protein intake, a higher level of nandrolone may in fact be normal, and not a problem. Lets see how this legal hair splitting will go over, with a former supreme court judge heading the tribunal.



Here is the Akhtar interview, albeit in Urdu.
