Ban on Shoaib, Asif revoked

The ban on Pakistani fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif was lifted on Tuesday afternoon.
A tribunal had banned Shoaib for two years and Asif for one year for testing positive for nandrolone.
The appeals were heard by a three-man panel, including retired judge Ibrahim, former Test player Hasib Ahsan and Dr Danish Zaheer.
Both men have insisted they did not knowingly take the banned drug.

I don't know what to say! Why go through the whole enquiry charade in the 1st place when this was supposed to be the end result?
