3) Mohammad Asif
The Pakistan fast bowler’s cricketing career has been filled with controversies. He was found guilty of bowling deliberate no-balls and was banned from Cricket for five years. Even before that, he was embroiled in a drug test controversy.
Asif was detained at Dubai airport for 19 days in June 2008 after 0.24 grams of opium were found in his wallet. After being deported to Pakistan, he was told he had also failed the IPL drug test. He had tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone during the opening season of the IPL.
Eventually, he ended up playing just one season. Following the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, the Pakistan government refused permission for its players to play in the IPL.
