Ajmal's flex more than twice legal limit - ICC report - chairman - 09-12-2014
Saeed Ajmal's average elbow extension is more than twice the permissible limit of 15 degrees, according to an ICC report available with ESPNcricinfo following biomechanical testing of his bowling action.
Ajmal, who was banned on September 9 after tests at the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, was found to flex his elbow up to an average of 42 degrees while bowling, the report said. Ajmal was assessed bowling offspin from over and around the wicket, the doosra and quicker balls, and none of the deliveries were close to the permissible limit, the report said.

How come nobody noticed that in all those years he played? It basically means he can't bowl no more.

Yeah, that raises the question how the hell did he get away with it all these years? He's been bowling with this action and worse. And then the excuse was "No I'm not pelting, ICC had me tested" (Sheldon voice) - now apparently it's more than twice the limit.
What a disgrace.
