West Indies allrounder Andre Russell is set to face an independent anti-doping disciplinary panel on July 20 in Jamaica for a preliminary hearing over alleged whereabouts-clause violations, his lawyer Patrick Foster has said.
"The matter is set for hearing next week Wednesday at 10am," Foster told Reuters . "The hearing will deal with preliminary matters, but evidence will begin on another date."
In March this year, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) said Russell had reportedly missed three dope tests in a 12-month period, which equated to a failed test under doping laws. Athletes are required make their whereabouts known to local anti-doping agencies to facilitate testing under the WADA code and face a ban of up to two years if found guilty of repeatedly missing them.
