Upul Tharanga tested positive for banned substance
June 8, 2011 08:29 pm
The ICC has informed Sri Lanka Cricket that Upul Tharanga has been tested positive for the presence of a prohibited substance during a testing of a urine sample collected from him after the semi final match against New Zealand on March 29 and a disciplinary charge has been initiated.
Since there is an ongoing inquiry to verify this charge, Upul Tharanga will not
be making himself available for selection until the conclusion of the inquiry
and therefore will not be available for the ODI and T20 matches in England and
the Sri Lanka ‘A’ Team tour of England, SLC said in a release.
