I bet he is not the only cricketer using PED. Some of the players have physiques that look unreal! Dope test them all!

The testing should be as strict as it can be, I have no doubt more are abusing but are getting away with it. Shame it's only a year as that's not a deterrent

It's normally hidden in the cakes, never the sandwiches. Check the eclairs and jaffa cakes  ;)

About time, how it took that long is bizarre. Not to be uncharitable, but when a guy suddenly puts 10-15mph on his bowling and misses three tests in the same year, something's going on. Wonder how often cricketers actually get tested, imagine not very often tbh! With the advent of the t20 age we'll likely see more of this kind of thing.

He was always guilty and was allowed to carry on and make millions! Absolute joke how long it took. A lab test takes about 5 minutes to conduct

So Usain Bolt is stripped of his gold medal due to one of this team failing a doping test in the relay

Does this mean the West Indies should be stripped of their 20/20 title and England upgraded to winners?!

Good of them to wait till he'd collected his BBL cheque before banning him.
