Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Asif has tested positive for a banned substance during an Indian Premier League (IPL) game, tournament organisers have said.
Only last month Asif, 25, was detained at Dubai airport on suspicion of carrying illegal drugs.
He was held in Dubai for two weeks before returning to Pakistan after a decision was made not to press charges.
"I am shocked and surprised because I was extra cautious and never used any banned substances," said Asif.
In a statement the league said: "The Indian Premier League confirms the player in violation is Mohammad Asif.
