West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has committed an “anti-doping whereabouts†rule violation, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) told Reuters yesterday.
The 27-year-old, named in the West Indies squad for the World Twenty20 in India that starts next week, has missed three doping tests within a 12-month period.
“We received notification of Russell’s violation about two weeks ago and I’ve appointed a panel to hear his case,†said JADCO independent disciplinary panel chairman Kent Pantry.
Russell, who helped West Indies win the 2012 World Twenty20, faces a possible two-year ban from cricket if found guilty.
“There is a process regarding the findings by JADCO. All that will be observed and you will be advised accordingly,†the West Indies Cricket Board told Reuters.
