Asif ‘held’ up in Dubai – Drugs!!!!
2 Comments Published by Teeth Maestro 2 years, 3 months ago in Pakistan.It is being reports on various news outlets that Mohammed Asif, Pakistan’s fast bowler has been held up in Dubai on suspicion of being in possession of drugs [opium or hashish].
Cricinfo: Though another senior PCB official, confirming the news of Asif’s detention to Cricinfo earlier, had said that the substance was suspected to be either hashish or opium, Nadeem Akram, a senior board official who is in Dubai handling the case, said officials had not yet identified what the substance is. “It has been sent to a lab for testing but we do not know yet what it is,” Akram, in Dubai since Sunday, told Cricinfo. Akram also stressed that Asif hadn’t yet been arrested and that he had been detained. “No charges have been brought yet.
We wont need to jog our memory too far behind to October 2006 when our fast pacer duo Shoaib Akhtar and Mohd Asif were both involved in a Nandrolone drug scandal lucky for them then that they were able to sneak out of India before all hell broke loose, in Pakistan they were reprimanded with light sentences. Mohd Asif has already disgraced Pakistan once before and if that were not a lesson, they might be messing up with their lives but when it comes to tarnishing the National image then I believe we should have zero tolerance for such repeat offenders.
Taking hope of stricter UAE laws and if he is found guilty of being in possession of drugs then I ask the UAE authorities to do us a favor and lock him away remembering to throw away the key at least long enough to ensure that he never represents Pakistan again.
