Shane Warne. He was banned from cricket for a year on 22nd February, 2003, ruling him out of the World Cup, after he tested positive for banned diuretics. Warne accused the Australian Cricket Board’s drugs tribunal of bowing to “anti-doping hysteria” after they handed him a 12-month suspension for using a prohibited substance as a masking agent.
