if people are looking for sporting controversy all they have to do is turn to the pakistani cricket time

its been thru such tumultuous times recently…pehle the whole ball tampering Ocal controvery..then the captians being changed and rechanged..and then this last drug abuse accusation

personally, i’d like to think tht at least Asif is too naive for drug abuse..the way i see it…their physicians might’ve given both Akhtar and Asif meidicne for recovery, n thts why there are traces of the substance nadrolone found in theri bloodstream….i’ve read a lot of articles abou the controversy, and im not convinced tht the PCB would go for such desperate means to beef up their bowlers…we’ve been one of the best bowling attacks in cricket for a long time..and dont really need performance enhancing, bulk building drugs…

anyway…research shows tht the consumption of large amounts of protein, be it in the form of meat, eggs, or even protein shakes and energy drinks…combined with heavy workout sessions, can induce the body to produce higher levels of nadrolone…the way i see it, becharey pind ke larkon ne injury ke baad dher saare dood anday se jaan banai…kutton ki tarah workout kiya[translates to: poor village kids ate a whole lotta eggs n milk after they got injured, worked out like dogs] n then the poor things just pissed in a cup and were told okie guys uve taken *drugs* *HARK tabooooo in our culture…u say drugs they think CHARAS [weed/joint]* hehe..which reminds me..i was explaining the whole drugs thing to my naive little dadi yesterday….she said ke *manshiyaat[drugs]* li hain..and i was like nooo…its more like *nashaasta[food used to give u strength]*…:P…so she goes chhup ke khaa lete jaan, hi toh bana rahey hain..sab ke saamne khaane ki kya zaroorat thi [they shdve eaten it secretly, why'd they consume it in front of other people]…toh then we explained the whole urine sampling thing to her…and then she was like ooohhh

but anyway..whtever the resons may be for the nadrolone traces…we’ll jst have to wait for the trial, which is set to be conducted in a fortnight….innocent until proven guilty!

on the upside, the match between pakistan and sri lanka was reall really reallllly good…after going thru such bad times, and suffering heavy team losses, the pakistani team put in a great show without key players…*standing ovation*…ALL of the factors were against them, and yet the pakistani team proved yet again that where theres a will there is a way!

moment of the match: younis khan lifting bob woolmer into the air hehe! just shows how badly the teacm wanted this victory..and what effects it had….it was sweet really the way they were celebrating! i wish Afridi had put in some good batting! but Malik and Razzaq were electrifying…!

next match on the 25th..lets hope nothing more drastic happens by then! u never noe wht to expect next from em! :D
