Reports were interchanged says Rahul Sharma’s father – Cricket News Update
Rahul Sharma’s father, Pradeep, has blamed the Indian police to have interchanged drug reports after his son was tested positive following a rave party incident in Mumbai during the Indian Premier League’s fifth edition.
Sharma, along with South African all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/WD-Parnell-c2787, were arrested by the Mumbai Police and went for medical examination, the results of which have come out now, two months after the event.
"We strongly suspect that my son’s report may have been interchanged with someone. It may be unintentional, but anything can happen in this country," said Pradeep, an assistant sub-inspector from Jalandhar.
"We wonder why it took two months to make the report public. The forensic department, where the samples were sent, could have given the report in 2-3 days. So, why have the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Police announced the results of the tests on the celebrities
in the second phase? Instead, it should have been announced in the first list.”
At the time of his arrest, the 25-year-old leggie vowed in public to quit international cricket if he had tested positive for the consumption of drugs, claiming that he had never touched liquor and was only there to attend a friend’s
birthday party.
BCCI sided with the player, stating that the board will not conclude with a decision unless full insight has been provided. Currently, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 where he has yet to feature in any fixture.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746, the former Indian captain, also spoke in favour of the spinner, and asserted that while the incident was unwarranted, a harsh punishment would be unnecessary since no performance enhancing drug was taken. He further
added that the BCCI should council the player rather than penalizing him with a hefty ban.
The bowling duo was tested for cannabis and methylenedioxy/methylamphetamine (MDMA) or Ecstasy, but the police have not specified which of the drugs they have been tested positive for. BCCI have not called the leggie home from the
tour, stating that no action will be taken without proper details, adding that the 25-year-old is prepared to play for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 if needed.
The five-match series is currently tied at one each.
