Drug Scandal

They were so removed from the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy. Former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul-Haq had earlier protested about Akhtar’s drug use, but this was not disclosed to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
* Akhtar quickly declared his innocence and refused to knowingly use any performance-enhancing substances. In a press statement, he asserted that he would never cheat teammates or opponents.
During a hearing with the Pakistan Cricket Board Anti-Doping Committee, he and Asif continued to take nonsteroidal dietary supplements. He, however, failed to persuade the committee of his innocence. In its report to the Pakistan Cricket Board, the Anti-Doping Committee suggested a two-year ban.
* On November 1, 2006, the Pakistan Cricket Board issued a two-year suspension to Akhtar and a one-year suspension to Asif, preventing them from playing professional cricket during that time. Shoaib was subsequently added to the Pakistan Olympic Association’s list of doping offenders. However, Akhtar was exonerated on appeal on December 5, 2006, while represented by his lawyer, Abid Hassan Minto.
Controversies

* He was suspended for one Test match and two One-Day Internationals in the same year for mistreating Paul Adams, a spin bowler for South Africa, during a match. He was forced to return from the 2005 Australia trip due to a hamstring injury, which sparked accusations about his lack of discipline and attitude. He was later penalized by the Pakistan Cricket Board for violating the game’s regulations.
* Akhtar reportedly used derogatory words against the Pakistan Cricket Board in August 2007 in an attempt to stop the imposition of a Rs. 300,000 fine for insubordination during the national camp in Karachi.
Following an altercation in the locker room, Akhtar was said to have struck Pakistani teammate Mohammad Asif with a bat in the week leading up to the first World Twenty20, which took place in South Africa. It all began when Asif and Shahid Afridi made fun of Akhtar for drawing comparisons between himself and Imran Khan. Following the initial investigation, it was determined that Akhtar was at fault.
