Asif wants B sample test postponed
Source: OUR STAFF REPORTER July 20, 2008 LAHORE - Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif has asked for his B sample test, which had been scheduled for July 28, to be postponed. His lawyer, Shahid Karim, wants more time to prepare for the case and make travel arrangements.
Karim said Asif has yet to receive the required documents from the Indian Premier League authorities relating to the A sample test, without which he could not prepare for the case.
"From the IPL we certainly want the documents that relate to the procedures they adopted for the 'A' sample test and we are entitled to have them," Karim was quoted by an Indian news agency. "We also want certain documents from the PCB that might be relevant to the case."
"We will not be able to make all the travel arrangements to Switzerland which is necessary in accordance to WADA rules by July 28," Karim was quoted by Cricinfo. "The visas have to be processed and documents have to be obtained."
