Bangladesh pacer Shahidul Islam has been banned from all types of cricket for 10 months due to positive dope test.
The 27-year-old right-arm pacer has violated the ICC's anti-dope rules in a press release on Thursday.
Shahidul has violated Section 2.1 of the Anti-Doping Rules of the World Cricket Institutional Organization.
What did Shahidul actually do, who was positive in the dope test? In response to all the questions about what the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) thinks about the poison, BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury Sujan claimed that the medicine that Shahidul had taken was not a banned drug.
But did the ICC punish innocent Shahidul?
On Thursday night, the BCB chief executive said, "Shaheedul made a mistake, as all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan was banned for this time, Shahidul has to pay the price.
After that, the high-ranking official of BCB said, ‘You can say that Shahidul's case is like Shakib being banned for one year. Just as Shakib did not know the news of the proposal from Jutasi without making any otherness, he was banned for one year in the eyes of the ICC without knowing the BCB or the ICC Anti-Corruption Agency. Shahidul has happened to be the same.
We should have informed the BCB doctor that he was taking a medicine on the advice of his personal doctor, which could be positive in the dope test.’
BCB CEO also said, ‘Since the ICC has confirmed about the entire poison after investigating, Shahidul has been punished.’
According to a source, Shahidul and his wife were taking the medicine on doctor's advice to have children, and did not inform anyone about the poison, and that was the case in his carry.
