The International Cricket Council (ICC) has charged South African batter Zubayr Hamza with an anti-doping rule violation under the ICC Anti-Doping Code.
Hamza has been charged with the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance following the detection of Furosemide in a sample collected out-of-competition on 17 January 2022 and has been provisionally suspended pending the outcome of the disciplinary process.
Furosemide is a Specified Substance contained in Section S5 of the 2022 WADA Prohibited List.
As these proceedings are ongoing, the ICC will make no further comment at this stage.
