Shoaib : Hotboxed

So Shoaib Akhtar does it again. I'm sure many of us remember the charas filled video of him singing 'Aate Jaate Khoobsurat' with doobie in his hand.

This time, He's been sent home for 'substance abuse' . Based on following Shoaib's performances for the past 10 years, I can safely say that Shoaib, Asif and Rana are incapable of procuring and administering performance enhancing drugs on their own, without any medical officer finding out / helping them.

Shoaib had a private Doctor on his payroll, makes you wonder why he would need to hire a doctor when the Pakistan Cricket Board pays for all medical fees.

Here's my take on the situation : Everyone's shady, including the PCB and Shoaibee, so really nothing coming out of this one. Maybe a 1-2 year ban at the most. But a reputation that further tarnished.

Like Warne, all these guys should have blamed it on their mothers too. He definitely won that year for 'Smartest Grownup with toddler hairstyle'

Shoaib and Asif have already made it on the Wikipedia list for controversial Nandrolone abuse cases.


More later sometime.
