Your joking right? Hypocritical wankers

Hrmmmm now I can start a drug program since taking diuretic's wont get me into any trouble. Warney has now set a new precedent when it comes to dope in sport (lots of happy athletes now right?).

IMO there were to many people tied up with him, who had to much to lose for anything to come of this.

cheers!

Warne hearing adjourned
February 21 2003

The committee in the Shane Warne drugs hearing will not return its verdict until tomorrow.

The hearing was adjourned at 5.40 this evening, nearly eight hours after it started.

Australian Cricket Board spokesman Peter Young said the three-person committee hearing Warne's case had decided to adjourn and deliberate overnight. He said it would reconvene at 11am tomorrow when it hoped to announce its verdict.

Warne tested positive to a banned diuretic on January 22, the day he announced his retirement from international one-day cricket.

After much deliberation, he was charged with using a prohibited method, meaning he faced a minimum two-year ban if found guilty. But there was scope for Warne to be given a lesser sentence or even escape penalty under an "exceptional circumstance" clause in the ACB's anti-doping policy.

"The committee has decided to adjourn and they will reconvene at 11am tomorrow," said ACB spokesman Peter Young.

"They will consider their position overnight and they hope to be in a position to issue a determination here at 11am tomorrow ...

"I think all can we read into it is they want an appropriate amount of time."

When asked if he could reveal the identity of the seven witnesses who appeared before the hearing today, Young replied: "It's a closed hearing and I'm not in a position to confirm any other detail other than what I have just said."

Warne left the hearing without comment, leaving in his car flanked by wife Simone and brother and manager Jason.

Is that Australian for "We want every body to think that we gave it a lot of thought, even though we know he won't be found guilty. We have to go through all the motions!"

Today he's not only admitting that he has taken diuretics on more than one occasion, he's now shelved plans to appeal the decision of the tribunal.

Warne will not appeal drugs ban
26/02/2003 09:56 - (SA)

Melbourne - Shane Warne announced on Wednesday he would not appeal against the 12-month suspension he received last week after testing positive to a banned diuretic.

The 33-year-old spin bowler, one of Wisden's five cricketers of the 20th Century, was sent home from the World Cup two weeks ago after being told about his positive drugs test.

He claimed he took a fluid-reducing tablet to improve his appearance without knowing it contained a banned substance.
"Although I find this penalty very harsh and I am extremely disappointed that this has happened I have decided that I no longer want to put my family under even more stress. Enough is enough," Warne said in a statement.
"I have decided to accept the decision of the committee on the chin and try to move on and deal with it the best way I can."

He said that he would now be looking at other work opportunities over the next 12 months, but was not retiring from cricket.

"I am definitely going to give it my best shot to get back to the top and will continue to train hard, work on my bowling and experiment with new deliveries," Warne said.
