LOL. But in all seriousness as Pakistan fan I was disgusted with the way the PCB handled Shoaib and Asif.  It was during the England series a few years ago Rana, Asif and Shoaib were injured.  Strangely Shoaib and Asif cam back fit and strong yet Rana played like a donkey. Its obvious why. 

Steroids allow for good recovery though they do have side effects, for example one of these side effects is very wild mood swings so hitting a team mate with a bat for example can happen (cough, wink etc).  Asif now seems dependant on the illegal stuff and has ruined a very promising career.
