An IPL player has tested positive.
My first thought was, only one?
But the tests were for performance enhancing drugs, not Charlie or H.
Why Modi has even given this information is beyond me.
At this stage they do not know that the player involved did not have a pre declared or prescripted drug in their system.
The B sample, also know as the other bottle of piss, has not been tested.
And if I am reading Modi’s words correctly, they have not even matched the sample with the player yet.
I’m all for full disclosure, but this is getting a tad ahead of the game, after the name is confirmed, the b sample is tested and the player notified, then you can give some details.
Or is there a reason that the IPL is more concerned with a drugs scandal than most…
Guilty conscience?
I would like to be the first to say that none of us believe that this was the work of any Pakistani fast bowlers, well, at least not Tanvir.
Now we’ve had the drug scandal, where is the match fixing one, don’t let me down IPL.
Is lard a banned substance?If so, I’ve got a suspect or two…
Just a nitpick – at least in some sports, the result is announced on the A sample. If the athlete so wishes, he can accept that result, effectively admitting his guilt. The B sample is only tested if the athlete asks for it to be done.
At least Pakistan managed to avoid another drug scandal, with the honours going to India. Does seem a little premature you would think they would keep it confidential until at least the player was notified.
Don’t get excited it’s only positive result for prescription medicine associated with regrowing hair.
True DB, gut generally the player is notified before its released to the media as well.
It’ll be Akhtar or Asif, I reckon.
Why ? Can’t it be that tubby Rajasthani captain ???
Ghurram, if Warney was going to do it, he’d hide it with diauretics like last time.
Asif it is, to no-one’s great surprise. I wonder what defence he’ll use this time? Surely nothing can trump his earlier effort, “oi’m just an ‘umble goat ‘erd, yeronner, don’t know nuffink ’bout these ‘ere stim-yoo-lants.”
Don’t worry, the pakistan board will get him off again. After all, their ‘honour’ is at stake. And we know what Pakistanis are like about their “honour”
Match fixing scandal.Rajasthan Royals were least favorites to win the title with bookies offering odds of 1:80 Rs on a title victory for them as compared to 1:3 Rs for a Deccan Chargers title victory..Go figure.
