Xavier Marshall returns positive test

West Indies opening batsman, Xavier Marshall has tested postive for a banned substance during a camp conducted for the provisional Stanford Twenty20 squad of 32. The Stanford Twenty20 for 20 sees a Stanford All-Stars side take on England for the chance to win $USD20 million, a game where the winner will take all the money on offer.

The test occured during the two week camp which was held in August. Marshall was withdrawn from the side two days ago with the reason given being a "major breach".

Another player also tested positive, Tonito Willett from Leewards also returned a positive test. It is expected that Leewards will deal with Willett's breach seperaetly from that of Marshall.

It is currently unknown which substance the players have tested postive for.

Marshall and Willett both test positive

Huge news, could be career over for Marshall. As stated in the article, the West Indies have a zero-tolerance policy on drugs so Marshall could be facing a lengthy ban or possibly even a life ban.

Not good news for West Indian cricket.

Promising player i will throw it out there as a guess but marijuana is a huge option smoked in the West Indies.

Steriods? surely not

Could there be some connection between this and the amount of money at offer? Probably not but will be interesting to find out.

It's a setback for him and West Indian cricket to hear about that. Should be punished but to what extent I'm on the fence a bit. Looked a promising type for the West Indies during his short career.

Doubtful he wasn't a national legend like S.K was. Suprised if he recieves anything lighter then 2 years.
