The farce has finally ended, we all thought that PCB was pro-active and banned Shoaib Akthar & Mohammad Asif for 2 years for doping in Champions Trophy alas all that was a sham.

They have lifted the ban saying the way the tests were conducted was wrong - whatever that means.

Basically, it seems they were getting their case for Shoaib's and Asif's innocence ready behind the scene.

Now that PCB has lifted the Ban it would mean Shoaib Akthar and Mohammad Asif can take part in the World Cup 2007.

This is sure to get ICC reacting. PCB is blaming the Lab in Malaysia which conducted the tests for wrong doing.

I sincerely hope, dopers are taken of the equation before the World Cup starts. Its a shame how folks can get away with anything.
