Warne tests positive again

By P. S. Suryanarayana

Sydney Feb. 18. Australian leg spinner Shane Warne's cricketing career may well be over after his second urine sample also tested positive for the banned diuretics, a leading newspaper reported today. He faces a maximum two-year ban from international cricket if proved guilty of the doping offence under the Australian Sports Drug Agency (ASDA) rules.

The ASDA, which carried out the tests, is believed to have informed Mr. Warne about the result of the second test yesterday, Herald Sun reported.

Under the ASDA protocol, Mr. Warne has seven days to ask for an internal inquiry or appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. — PTI
