Former Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne was the legendary bowler in international cricket history. His unplayable leg-spin always troubled any batsmen. However, his international cricket career faced massive blow for the doping violation.

Just one day before the beginning of 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup, the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) sent Warne home after he had a positive result for a banned diuretic. Warne faced a one-year suspension for that.

Later, he continued his outstanding bowling performances in Test career. However, he managed to play only one ODI after coming out from that suspension.
