2. West Indies cricket all-rounder Andre Russell faces the
prospect of receiving an extension on his doping ban to
two years. This was after an appeal was made by the
Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) over the
original sanction.
A doping ban of one year was handed out to Russell in
January after he was found guilty of breaking anti-doping
whereabouts regulations three times in a 12-month period
which, under the code, classed as a failed test. Presently,
the ban on Russell runs until January 30, 2018.
JADCO chief executive Carey Brown remarked that an
appeal has been filed by his organization with Jamaica’s
five-member anti-doping Appeals Tribunal.

3. Russell, who has played for the Sydney Thunder in the last two
editions of the KFC Big Bash League, has played across different
Twenty-Twenty cricket format. Sydney Thunder director of
cricket Mike Hussey said the star West Indian cricketer had
“been to hell and back” dealing with the anti-doping charge and
recent injury issues. Hussey also said he had been going
through a really tough time of late with all the ‘whereabouts’
saga going on and he’s been waiting to hear the finding of that
hearing. Hussey added hopefully get this saga over and behind
him, he gets cleared and he can get on living his life and getting
back to really enjoying his cricket again. The Sydney Thunder
director of cricket also commented that Russell had gone
through a really tough time and he just wants him to get better
and get his life back on track.
