West Indies allrounder Andre Russell is set to face an independent anti-doping disciplinary panel on July 20 in Jamaica for a preliminary hearing over alleged whereabouts-clause violations, his lawyer Patrick Foster has said.
"The matter is set for hearing next week Wednesday at 10am," Foster told Reuters . "The hearing will deal with preliminary matters, but evidence will begin on another date."
In March this year, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) said Russell had reportedly missed three dope tests in a 12-month period, which equated to a failed test under doping laws. Athletes are required make their whereabouts known to local anti-doping agencies to facilitate testing under the WADA code and face a ban of up to two years if found guilty of repeatedly missing them.
"We received notification of Russell's violation about two weeks ago and I've appointed a panel to hear his case," JADCO independent disciplinary panel chairman Kent Pantry had told Reuters around March 2.
Russell, 27, has been a leading player in the T20 format in recent times. He played a crucial role in West Indies winning the 2016 World T20 title in March and April, and is a key performer in domestic leagues around the world.
Russell was part of winning campaigns for Sydney Thunder in the 2015-16 Big Bash League and for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League in February. He is also part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad in the IPL and is currently playing for Jamaica Tallawahs in the Caribbean Premier League.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — West Indies and Jamaican cricketer Andre Russell's anti-doping hearing is set for next Monday and Tuesday, when the Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel will convene.
The hearing, which is scheduled to start at 10:00 am, will be held at the Jamaica Conference Centre on Port Royal Street in Kingston, a release from the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport said Wednesday.
The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) had reported earlier this year that Russell had missed three doping tests in a 12-month period, which is equivalent to failing a test under doping laws.
Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, athletes are required to make their whereabouts for a certain period of each day known to local anti-doping agencies to facilitate testing. An athlete could face a ban of up to two years if found guilty.

On September 19, Russell's lawyer, Patrick Forster, argued in front of the independent
anti-doping disciplinary commission that the burden of proof was on JADCO
to show Russell was negligent in fulfilling his whereabouts-clause obligations on
January 1, July 1 and July 25, 2015 :
when he was supposed to undergo out-of-competition dope tests !!

Andre Russell's anti-doping hearing, looking into the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission's (JADCO) claim that the West Indies allrounder had missed three dope tests in a 12-month period, resulting in a whereabouts-clause violation, has been adjourned to September 28.
According to the WADA code, three missed tests amount to a failed dope test and the athlete could face a ban of up to two years. Russell was present at the hearing in Kingston, having skipped the three-T20I series against Pakistan in the UAE, citing "personal reasons".

The hearing convened by the Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel into the allegation that West Indies cricketer Andre Russell violated a whereabouts clause is scheduled to continue this morning at 10:00.
It is to be held at Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston.
The disciplinary panel is set to comprise Chairman Hugh Faulkner, Dr Marjorie Vassell, and former Jamaica cricketer Dixeth Palmer.
The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) accuses Russell, 28, of failing to file his whereabouts, resulting in his missing three doping tests over a 12-month period. Under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations that amounts to a failed test.
The rules require that athletes make their whereabouts known to local anti-doping agencies to facilitate testing. An athlete may face a ban of up to two years if found in violation.
Russell’s alleged filing failures were dated January 1, 2015, July 1, 2015 and July 25, 2015.
At the previous hearing on September 19, all parties agreed to an early afternoon adjournment. At the time, Queen’s Counsel Patrick Foster, the lead attorney representing Russell, was cross-examining JADCO employee Nadia Vassell and was probing the basis of the last two alleged filing failures. Vassell’s cross-examination is expected to continue today.
