Banned!
Two sad tales happened on this day.
2003: Shane Warne was banned from cricket for a year, ruling him out of the World Cup, after he tested positive for banned diuretics.
2010: Former Great Britain hooker Terry Newton had his contract terminated by Wakefield after admitting using human growth hormone, and was banned from all rugby for two years by UK Anti-Doping. In September 2010 Newton was found hanged at his home.
