Breaking News! Pakistani pace bowler Mohammad Asif found himself in fresh controversy, after it was confirmed that he failed the dope test conducted by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) during the recently concluded IPL. The news was confirmed by IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi.Asif was earlier banned for using banned substance Nanderlone in 2006, but later he was let off by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Last month, Asif was caught at Dubai Airport for keeping opium. He was later released after PCB used its diplomatic channels to ensure his release. Asif had to spend 19 days in Dubai Police custody. The Pakistan Cricket Board is accused of shielding Asif time and again although he was found guilty on more than one occasion. It now needs to take a tough stand on the controversial pace bowler.Meanwhile, Asif has denied that he had taken any banned substance and raised questions on the timing of the report. He said he is yet to receive any formal communication from the PCB in this regard. If found guilty, Asif may face a two-year ban, as he has been continuously violating the code of conduct of the ICC and brought shame to cricket.
