Welcome back JC

Cricketer John Campbell has received a reduction of two years and two months on his four year suspension for evading and failing to submit to a urine sample.

The 30-year-old Campbell, who received the ban in October, 2022 will now be eligible to return to competitive cricket in July or August of this year.

The ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sports, CAS, found Campbell did not deliberately try to evade. The court says the issue was out of negligence on Campbell’s part.

CAS also in their ruling says it didn’t find Campbell to be a cheat.

Great news.

Welcome back, John Campbell. Get running 5-10 miles a day. Face 100-300 balls per day.

John get back in the nets quickly, do some morning running by the beach, WI desperately needs an opener, as a Yardie they will not just welcome you back in the team, that’s only for Bajan, you will have to kick down the door, like when Blackwood returned from cricket wilderness. big grin
