Tharanga fails World Cup dope test
Sri Lankan batsman Upul Tharanga has reportedly tested positive for a banned substance during the recent World Cup and the ICC will hold an inquiry against the player soon.
The left-handed opener tested positive for a banned substance called Prednisolone prescribed to him by an alternate medical practitioner, the 'Sunday Times' reported.
"The International Cricket Council (ICC) is due to hold an inquiry shortly into Tharanga being tested positive for using a banned substance during the recent World Cup tournament," the newspaper reported.
Tharanga scored an unbeaten century in the quarter-final against England in Colombo before the Sri Lankan team finished runner-up in the event after losing the final to India in Mumbai.
"Lawyers have already been retained to defend Tharanga at the ICC inquiry," the newspaper said.
