West Indies batter John Campbell has been hit with a four-year ban for violating doping rules, according to a Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission.
The 29-year-old batter has represented the Windies side in 20 test matches, six One-day Internationals, and two T20 International matches.
The three-member independent panel gave an 18-page decision on the matter of evading, refusing, or failing to submit the blood sample for required tests.
The Panel’s decision stated “The … panel is persuaded to a comfortable degree of satisfaction that the athlete committed an anti-doping rule violation, namely breach of JADCO rule 2.3. …,” the decision read in part. The panel does not find, on the evidence presented, that the athlete’s anti-doping violation was not intentional.”
