Mohd Asif blames eye drops for positive test<br/>

Tainted Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif on Saturday told the Indian Premier League's Drug Tribunal in Mumbai that he used a Nandrolone-laced eye drop which was the reason behind his failing a dope test during the IPL last year. Asif issued a statement in which he claimed that both the medical experts from his defense counsel and the prosecution agreed that he had taken "keratyl", an eye drop containing Nandrolone, and this was the reason for his positive test during the IPL last year. "Although the minimum sentence for using a banned substance is two years under WADA rules, but since Asif used by mistake an eye drop containing Nandrolone, the tribunal has decided to take a few days before giving its verdict," the statement said.
