The World Anti-Doping Agency said Friday it has files an appeal against Pakistan's decision to lift doping bans on fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Muhammad Asif. "WADA has exercised its independent right to appeal, provided in the World Anti-Doping Code, to the CAS against the OCB's appeal panel decision to over turn the sports sanctions of two athletes who recently tested positive for performance enhancing drugs", said Donze Donze said it would be up to ICC to decide whether they could still play in International matches "since it relates to elligibility rules in cricket".

infact I think it can be handeled only by PCB, so it hadneled it now, I think WADA has no right to cry on it because the tests were never under WADA but under PCB

PCB shouldve never popped this issue up, blaming their own players without doing initial research! Crticket boards protect players, I'm not saying they should support wrong doings but atleast do some homework before throwing it out in the newspapers!
