Anti-doping test: Andre Russell's career hangs in the balance

West Indies' hard-hitting all rounder Andre Russell is undergoing a tumultuous cricket patch, as the T20 superstar waits for the verdict of anti-doping test on Tuesday, which could lend him a ban from the game.

Andre Russell has been alleged by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) for committing a 'whereabouts rule' violation, meaning one of the two things i.e. either missing three drug tests or failing to provide accurate whereabouts information within an 18-month period, reported cricket.com.au.

If the Jamaican is found to committing the abovementioned violation, he could face a suspension of up to two years under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations.

"If I get a ban then definitely Im out of cricket (during the period of the suspension) I mean all formats. So Id just love to know Im back and I can represent Jamaica Tallawahs, West Indies, and all the other teams I play for in the world."

The West Indian is however optimistic, and believes that his lawyers would save him from suspension.

"Honestly, Im being positive and I havent been thinking about anything else that I want to do apart from playing cricket; doing what I love. I have so many fans out there and they would be disappointed, just as I would be."

A three-member tribunal comprising Hugh Faulkner, Dr Marjorie Vassell and Dixeth Palmer, will deliver the verdict in the case today January 31.
