The World Squash Federation today imposed a one-year ban on Pakistan Squash Federation Secretary Irfan Asghar. The ban has been imposed for stating that WSF President N Ramachandran played a malicious role in preventing his country's players from obtaining visas for a tournament in Belgium. The WSF said Asghar brought both the sport and the Federation into disrepute. The WSF said the visa applications could not be cleared because of a confusion created by the Pakistan Squash Federation itself.The World Squash Federation said that the decision of the Disciplinary and Appeals Committee of the World Federation is to ban Irfan Asghar from any involvement in all WSF events for a period of 12 months from 7th October 2011 and to impose a fine of 500 pounds, payable within 30 days.
