Saleem said that the dope tests indicates PCB's zero tolerance policy against use of banned substances by its cricketers, especially in the wake of recent embarrassment after Asif's 'A' sample, taken during the inaugural Indian Premier League, was found to have tested positive reportedly for nandrolone.
"We want to ensure there are no problems and all the players, who are in the run for the tournament, are clean. These tests are also an indication of our zero tolerance policy towards drugs and banned substances in sports," Saleem said.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar told reporters that he had not only given the dope samples but also started some fitness programmes. Akhtar was appearing in a dope test for the first time since he tested positive for nandrolone in October 2006 in an out of competition tests by the PCB before the Champions Trophy in South Africa.
The PCB had also conducted dope tests prior to the recent Asia Cup.
