Mitchell Starc needed cortisone injections to get through Ashes tour - ali - 10-10-2015
Australia have revealed that their fast bowler Mitchell Starc has been struggling with a right-ankle condition for which he needed cortisone injections during the tour of England.
The 25-year-old from New South Wales, who was a near ever-present during the Ashes Tests and one-day series, missed the fourth ODI at Headingley, which England won by three wickets.
It has now been confirmed that bone spurs caused fresh inflammation to Starc’s ankle, though Cricket Australia said surgical intervention was not called for.
A statement read: “Mitchell has a chronic right ankle condition that has required arthroscopic surgery twice during his career. It is an injury that the Cricket Australia medical team, coaches and Mitchell have become accustomed to managing for some time.

Australia love these STEROID injections...
ICC should really clamp down on this UNFAIR advantage.

hey you maroon, read
Many conditions brought on by exercise and sports are notoriously painful and persistent, leading some people to opt for a corticosteroid injection (or ‘cortisone shot’) into the affected area.
While this medicine has been widely used to treat inflammatory pain since the 1950s, it is worthwhile remembering it is not a cure and may even be detrimental in some conditions.What is a corticosteroid?Corticosteroids (also known as ‘steroids’ or glucocorticoids) are medicines that mimic your body’s natural corticosteroid hormones (cortisone and hydrocortisone) produced by the adrenal glands above your kidneys.
They are not the same as anabolic steroids, which are sometimes misused by athletes and body builders, and they don’t increase your muscle strength.
Corticosteroids (such as betamethasone, hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, prednisone, and triamcinolone) are mainly used to treat serious inflammation or to modify effects on the immune system. This can help a variety of conditions such as arthritis and common sports-related injuries, including:
- [li]tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)[/li]
[li]golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)[/li]
[li]bursitis of the shoulder, hip or knee[/li]
[li]frozen shoulder[/li]
[li]plantar fasciitis[/li]
[li]carpal tunnel syndrome[/li]
[li]herniated disc[/li]
[li]rotator cuff injury[/li]
[li]tendonitis.[/li]

Not Cheating IF it is allowed by the rules.
You would have to prove the injections are NOT performance enhancements
