Lynn's secret drugs ban revealed on BBL eve
Big Bash League record-setter Chris Lynn's one-month suspension for a positive drugs test has been revealed, two months after he served the ban.
Australian cricket star Chris Lynn has been suspended from competition for one month, it has been disclosed. The ban has already been served by the 36-year-old, who admitted to taking cocaine outside of competition while in England. Lynn's suspension was imposed in August, following his positive drug test during England's T20 Blast finals in July.
The one-month ban, which started from July 31 to August 30, was backdated to the period of his violation. Despite being linked with a move to the Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming Big Bash League season, Lynn remains available as he has completed his penalty and is not under a Cricket Australia contract. The suspension came as Lynn was set to play in Sri Lanka after the T20 Blast, but he was ruled out with an unspecified leg injury on July 29.
The Big Bash League record-setter has the highest run-scoring tally and six-hitting record in the league and has also played for Australia in international T20 and one-day cricket.
