Mohammad Asif found himself in deep trouble as the dope test of his 8216;B8217; sample has also tested positive for a contraband substance, leaving the Pakistan pacer facing the possibility of being banned for two years.
8220;I can only confirm the B sample test has come positive but the results of both tests are different which is strange to us,8221; Asif8217;s lawyer Shahid Karim said from Geneva.
Karim said that the 8216;B8217; test, which was conducted on Monday, had found 5.4 milligrams of nandrolone in Asif8217;s urine sample.
Asif had asked for a 8216;B8217; sample test after he had tested positive for 6.2 mg of nandrolone during the inaugural Indian Premier League IPL, during which he played for Delhi Daredevils.
The 25-year-old pacer is already suspended from all forms of cricket by the Pakistan cricket Board PCB after the first test turned out to be positive.
But Asif said from Geneva that he was also surprised at the different test results and was thinking about appealing to the authorities.
8220;They took my urine samples at the same time in the IPL and the tests have shown up different results. That certainly makes my case stronger,8221; Asif said.
