ODI opener to face ICC doping panel

Upul Tharanga, the Sri Lanka ODI opener, will appear before an International Cricket Council hearing on Friday to answer doping charges.

Tharanga tested positive for a banned drug after Sri Lanka's World Cup semi-final against New Zealand in March.

However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) still has to confirm whether Tharanga failed a doping test. Many of the player’s fans that closely follow the cricket odds wonder what the outcome of this will be, and what could happen to the player.
“As a matter of ICC policy and in accordance with ICC and Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) regulations, we do not comment on anti-doping matters of this nature,” a spokesman told the BBC.
Tharanga, limited-overs specialist, played in15 Test appearances and 121 one-day internationals, helping to make very good cricket odds, but is not in the Test squad for Sri Lanka’s current England tour.
In the meantime, Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Sri Lanka’s sports minister, ordered a three-member panel to look into Tharanga’s failed drug test, although he still has to receive official confirmation coming from the ICC, and many of the player’s fans wonder what will happen, and hope that everything goes well for the player.

Tharanga said he received a steroid for an asthma-related problem by a Colombo-based faith healer, who also treats other international players.
