22 Year old Left Arm Spinner Raza Hassan is banned for two years and he will not be able to play any official cricket after his doping test results were positive. The WADA accredited laboratory in India has confirmed that Hassan has been using cocaine to enhance his performances

According to a source in the Pakistan Cricket Board some urine samples of Raza Hassan were taken during a Pentangular cup match in January. The results of the second sample are still awaited but on basis of the first sample results, the board has already established a two-member committee to charge sheet the spinner and seek an explanation from him,” the source said. “The PCB is taking the matter very seriously because this is the first time any player has tested positive for the use of cocaine”, the source added.

Raza Hassan has played one One Day International and 10 T20 Internationals for Pakistan. Raza is known to be a very decent T20 bowler. He picked up 10 wickets in 10 games that he played for Pakistan with a very impressive economy rate of 5.76. Raza made his T20 International debut in September 2012 against Australia and played his one and only ODI against Australia in October 2014 in Dubai

Raza has been advised to hire a lawyer and justify his innocence to a committee of qualified people, which also includes former Pakistani International player Colonel Naushad Ali who also happens to be a qualified Sports Medicine Doctor.

Sources have been telling that the Pakistan Cricket Board is taking this matter quite seriously as no player in the history of cricket was banned for using cocaine.“If Hassan can’t clear himself before the inquiry committee, he faces a two-year ban from all cricket,” said Naushad Ali.

In the past many popular Pakistani cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif were tested positive for banned substances for which they had to miss the 2007 World cup in West Indies

Now Pakistani posters will call it a scheme hatched by BCCI to defame pakistani players.
And BTW who the hell uses cocaine for performance enhancement.Sounds like an excuse to cover up recreational use.

Then better wait for Pakistanis to have their say! No need to talk on someones else behalf. It wouldn't be surprising to see a positive drug test people do make mistakes.

Good job by PCB.

Cocaine for performance enhancement? I think the reporter or experts who claimed this, are also smoking some sh!t.

I think he's just addicted to cocaine, that's it.

 

[I.R.A]

Just tell us straight forward on our faces don't produce quality bowlers world does not appreciate it, and we will stop. What the hell, cocaine gives him ideas of teesra and chotha balls I guess? Come on morons he is a spinner.

 

[prashantazazel]

I think he just takes it for fun. It's a party drug.

Keep him away from every game as he'll sell out to some bookie for a line of coke .

It takes him 20 mins to bowl a couple of overs, he must be on some heavy shit

And just for your info, a cricket match is not 20 minutes long. What would he achieve with 20 minutes power in a game that lasts for several hours? Don't tell me he was smoking tons of cocaine before each match.

 

[Whirling_dervesh]

HoW has the WADA accredited laboratory in India surmised that he used it for performance enhancing and not recreational?

 

[Niks]

Pakistani bowlers and drugs ,still a better love story than twilight
Shoaib Akhtar approves it

 

[Dr Gupta]

He did not take cocaine to improve his performance he took it because he likes coke, there are better drugs to take for sportsmen.
