Asif seeks board help in fighting doping case
KARACHI (Reuters) - Suspended Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Asif has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to support him in a legal battle against a doping ban after he tested positive for the steroid nandrolone.
"The previous board didn't help me out at all in this doping offence. I have been fighting a lone battle," Asif told Reuters on Monday.
The PCB suspended Asif from all cricket in August after he tested positive in a dope test carried out during the semi-final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in June. The IPL drugs inquiry tribunal, which is hearing Asif's appeal, is due to meet in Mumbai on Nov. 20
