India batsman Prithvi Shaw has been suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) until November 15, 2019 due to a doping violation.
A statement from the BCCI revealed that Shaw “inadvertently ingested a prohibited substance, which can be commonly found in cough syrups”.
A urine sample from Shaw, taken during a Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy match in February, was tested and contained Terbutaline, which is on the WADA prohibited list of substances.
