ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT/APP): The World Squash Federation (WSF) has
removed ban on Pakistani player Nasir Iqbal but World Anti-Doping
Agency (WADA) has gone against the world squash body’s decision in
Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
It may be mentioned here that Nasir was the only player, whose
dope test was taken twice by WADA, first on February 7 last year and
then again on February 10. The test taken on February 7 was positive
and only three days later, the taken test was negative.
Talking to APP, a source close to the developments said Nasir
was cleared by WSF but WADA was not satisfied and it gone in CAS
against the decision.
“Now it is up to CAS to decide what decision they give in this
regard,” he said.
Responding to a question, the source said it is not in the
Pakistan Squash Federation’s (PSF) hand to do anything in this
matter.
However, the source said hopefully we will get a positive
decision from CAS in this regard as Nasir has not done or taken
anything wrong.
“If a banned substance is used by an athlete then it remains
in the blood for at least four to six months,” the source said
adding then how come Nasir’s test come negative only three-days
later.
