How long do steroids stay in the system?

[TAK]

what if shoaib or asif are randonly tested say during a one day match v the windies or in south africa

will traces of anabloic steroid still be found in there systems?

if so what will happen - will icc dopinfg procedures kick in?

[SUPERSAMI]

Stubborn metabolites can stay in the system for up to a year depending on the substance, as for being randomly tested that won't happen as there is no policy to test during bilateral tours, only during ICC arranged tournaments is random testing done

[TAK]

so the stroids may still be present during the world cup - which is icc arranged?

[safehands46]

all you have to do is mask or use something of designer nature. pcb will have to invest and shoaib can get specialized strands and also his balls want shrink because of no supervision.

but shrinking balls make johnson bigger so i am not sure what shoaib wants. quite the dilemma.

[SUPERSAMI]

Maybe, but I'm sure that they will be tested by PCB so there 100% no chance of anyone testing positive during the world cup.

Does anyone have any factual evidence on Shoaib's previous testing history? I.e when has he been tested before?

[Hash]

He was tested at the 2003 World Cup.......I think this was mentioned at the tribunal. Obviously came back negative.

If nandrolone is injected it can stay up to a year otherwise it is gone within a few months. Let's hope it is gone by the time the world cup comes.

wow...12 to 18 months...doese that mean that asif and shoaib will be caught in the world cup

No.

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Cant the PCB just test both these guys like a month or somthing before the wold cup
and see if its still in the system ???

It cant stay up to a year.. but i dont think it stays that long in most cases..
and then again we dont know when they took it .. my guess would be June/ July
when both the players wer injured and trying to get fit ? ?

So that it self would be about 9 months by the world cup starts !!

[Easa]

ICC will test probably 2 players from our squad during the WC. Unless we are extremely unlucky, Akhtar and Asif probably won't.

[KaSaNoVa_G]

But even then 1/15 chance is too much of a risk when it comes down to
Asif.. i would perfer him missing the world cup then missing him for 2 years after that lol ..

As for Shoaib just take the risk i guess.. that if he already aint injured before that lol !!

or they are extremely stupid

[Slugger]

most steroids that I know of stay in ur system for about 6 months to a year.

[slix10]

Nanodralone can stay up to a year in the system. That is if they took the injected kind.

[Big Daddy]

Will you guys stop jumping the gun for once. The testing protocol administered by the ICC or for that matter the Olympics committee, can only pick nandralone if consumed within the last 60 days or about.

Its true that modern societies have at their disposal vehicles that can really dig deep, they can get a history of doping for 2 years, 10 years , 20 years even but the premise adopted currently limits them to 60 days. So as long as the testing interface remains the same we aint got no nothin to worry bout k .

Thanks dude

Nandrolene below 2mg in the body will not be punished. Above that yes it will. Big Daddy is right I think. I dont think they will be able to pick anything really and even if they do it will be less probably. However, if that doesn't happen both these guyz will surely be banned.

Also guyz ICC is quite twisted as we all know. They will make sure the two players they test are Asif n Shoaib. They will be the ones who will be "randomly chosen". Pak has a chance to win the world cup with these two. Without them, we'll be lucky to play the semis. With all this controversy, ICC will try its best to take the two bowlers to task.
