Andre Russell’s anti-doping hearing set for Monday

KINGSTON, Jamaica — West Indies and Jamaican cricketer Andre Russell’s anti-doping hearing is set for next Monday and Tuesday, when the Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel will convene.

The hearing, which is scheduled to start at 10:00 am, will be held at the Jamaica Conference Centre on Port Royal Street in Kingston, a release from the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport said Wednesday.

The Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) had reported earlier this year that Russell had missed three doping tests in a 12-month period, which is equivalent to failing a test under doping laws.

Under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, athletes are required to make their whereabouts for a certain period of each day known to local anti-doping agencies to facilitate testing. An athlete could face a ban of up to two years if found guilty.

Russell, who is represented by attorney Patrick Foster, was integral to the West Indies team which won the 2016 Twenty20 (T20) World Cup in India. The Jamaican is one of the most sought-after T20 players, travelling the globe to represent franchises in India, Bangladesh, Australia and England.
