Odean Brown banned for 15 months

Wed, May 11, '16

Jamaican cricketer Odean Brown was yesterday suspended for 15 months by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Disciplinary panel after committing a whereabouts violation by missing three consecutive out-of-competition drug tests.

The 34-year-old leg-spinner, who has represented the Jamaica senior team since February 2004, was not served the maximum 24-month ban and can return to competitive action on February 24, 2017.

His suspension will be backdated and is effective from November 24, 2015, which in essence is a ninemonth ban. The bowler, who most recently played for Jamaica in March 2015, has taken 255 wickets in 67 first-class.
