SHANE WARNE DRUG BAN
Australian star spinner Shane Warne was sent home a day before the 2003 Cricket World Cup after failing a drugs test.
Warne blamed the failed test on his Mum, saying she had given him diuretics to aid weight loss.
The pill contained hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride, ingredients used for weight loss but also used by drug cheats to mask the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Warne was banned from all forms of cricket for 12 months.
