5 cricketers who had trouble with dope tests

#4 Abdur Rehman (Pakistan)

The Pakistani spinner tested positive for cannabis

The 2012 county cricket season in England witnessed a doping controversy involving Pakistani left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman. Playing for Somerset, Rehman failed a dope test just after the second day of his first 4-day match for his county as he tested positive for cannabis.

This led to the England Cricket Board handing the cricketer a ban of 12 weeks from the game. Prior to this incident, Abdur Rehman had been one of the stars of the season for Somerset. Rehman considered it to be an error of judgment on his part which would cost him dearly and serve as a lesson for other cricketers too, even as he apologised to everyone for his misdeed.
