Yusuf Pathan

Indian all-rounder Yusuf Pathan was yesterday handed a five-month retrospective suspension for failing a dope test, a sanction which will end on January 14 after the BCCI accepted his plea that the violation was inadvertent. "Yusuf Pathan has been suspended for a doping violation. Mr Pathan had inadvertently ingested a prohibited substance (Terbutaline), which can be commonly found in cough syrups," the BCCI said in a statement.
