Afghanistan’s Mohammad Shahzad Charged For Doping Violations

Afghanistan opener Mohammad Shahzad has been bu the International Cricket Council (ICC) for an anti-doping rule violation.

The ICC, on Thursday (April 13), stated that the sample provided by the wicketkeeper-batsman in an out-of-competition test, which was conducted on January 17 at the ICC Academy and analysed at the WADA-accredited laboratory in Salt Lake City, was found to contain a prohibited substance,Clenbuterol. The substance appears in Section 1.2 of the WADA Prohibited List (in the category of other anabolic agents).

“In accordance with the ICC Anti-Doping Code, pending the outcome of the disciplinary process, Shahzad will be provisionally suspended, with such suspension coming into effect on 26 April 2017, unless he exercises his right to challenge the imposition of the provisional suspension before such date,” the ICC said in a statement.

As per the apex body’s  anti-doping code, Shahzad has the right to request that his B sample is analysed within five days from the date of the notice of the charge. He can also challenge the suspension within 12 days.

The Afghanistan star can also challenge the charges pressed against him within 12 days from the date of the notice of charge. In that case, the provisional suspension will not be imposed until the challenge is determined.

Here is the whole process:

  •  Within five days from the date of the notice of the charge, Shahzad has the right to request that his B sample is analysed.
  • Within 12 days from the date of the notice of charge, Shahzad can challenge the imposition of the provisional suspension at a provisional hearing, in which case the provisional suspension will not be imposed until the challenge is determined.
  • If he decides not to challenge the imposition of the provisional suspension within the 12-day deadline, his provisional suspension will immediately come into effect from 26 April 2017.
  • He has to respond to the charge within 14 days otherwise he will be deemed to have waived his entitlement to a hearing and admitted to having committed the anti-doping rule violation.
