The Jamaican all-rounder is going through the path after he missed 3 dope assessments within the final one year. in line with the world Anti-Doping organisation's (WADA) code, Russel can be slapped with a -yr ban. Russell changed into present on the hearing on Monday, after he ignored the three-match Twenty20 worldwide (T20I) collection against Pakistan in the UAE.

"The thrust of our case is that the doping authority, JADCO, should show negligence that has to emerge in the context of the proof as it's far given, so that is, basically, our position. the load of proof is on JADCO," Forster told the Jamaica Gleaner on Tuesday (September 20). "I don't want to remark too much at the details of the proof in the midst of cross-inspecting the witness, however a great part of the pass-exam relates to the July to September area, where JADCO recorded filing disasters, so in pass-exam, i am simply wondering the basis which they arrived at two submitting disasters for the equal sector," he added. The hearing panel produced from Hugh Faulkner (chairman), Dr Marjorie Vassell, and former Jamaica cricketer Dixeth Palmer. but, the absence of Brown supposed the hearing needed to be postponed.
