Sky Sports news did their utmost to stir it as usual, bringing in their vast array of experts to cast their views on the issues, they made the english team look like angels altogether and the Pakistani team out to be pure corrupt.
It felt like they insinuated that Pakistan were only ever good because of this, that stuff drives me mad and i know i am worse for watching it.
In my opinion i dont think its as bad as it may seem, i honestly dont think they would of gained that much from using the drug, i am not an expert but i know that increased levels can be found becaused of your diet, saying that its their responsability to monitor their diet even if it was not intentional

I agree 100%. And the fact is that nandrolone would have helped them both enormously in their recovery from their various injuries, especially Shoaib whose entire technique is built around upper-body muscle strength.

I did say it is their own responsibility to monitor their own diet if it was not intentional, I would just like to give the benefit of doubt to players since the risk and reprucutions outweigh the potential benefits of using the drug.
After saying that Pakistan is a very passionate cricket country with alot of pressure on the star players.
I am totaly against drugs in sport, dont even get me started on Lance Armstrong
