Australia player warned over drugs: Reports
An Australian cricketer was given an unofficial warning over an incident involving consumption of cocaine last year, reports claimed. The cricketer tested negative for the drug and did subject to Cricket Australia's formal drug policy. However, 'The Australian States' carried a report stating that the country's cricket governing body called the player to give them an account of the incident and following his admission to his involvement in the incident, the player was counselled.
Cricket Australia dismissed the reports, stating that there is no Australian player who has tested positive.
"Cricket Australia confirmed today that no current Australian, State or BBL player has tested positive or breached CA's anti-doping or illicit drugs policies," CA said in a statement.
"Noting a newspaper report claiming a cricketer has been counselled on an alleged illicit drugs issue, CA said that in common with other employers, it deals from time to time with employee welfare issues.
"CA's policy dealing with player welfare issues is to do so in a confidential, medically-based manner."
