"We are not sure but Asif and myself might be required to be present for the 'B' sample test," he said.
Kazmi said till now his client has not decided his future line of action if the 'B' sample test also comes out positive, including challenging the test results in court through an appeal.
"We have discussed some options of appeals but nothing more," he added.
He also negated reports that Asif might challenge the decision of PCB to suspend him from all cricket activities till the case is decided by the IPL anti-drugs committee.
"We have discussed this but no decision has been taken to appeal against the suspension," Kazmi said.
"We remain confident that Asif will be cleared of doping charges because of certain issues related to the way the 'A' sample tests were carried out."
Although the PCB has suspended Asif from all cricketing activities but he will continue to get his monthly retainer from his central 'A' category contract, which is around Rs. 250,000 per month. |
