All due to a pill

Putting to rest speculations about the number of diuretic pills he had consumed before being banned, disgraced spinner Shane Warne admitted that he had taken a similar tablet in early December before sustaining the shoulder injury.

Warne said his mother Brigitte gave him the pill by to get rid of an alcohol-induced double chin. "I was tested on December 12 which was negative. This was before the injury - I was injured on the 15th. It has since come up at the hearing that there were small traces of the same ingredients that I was tested positive for in January."

"I admitted to the hearing that I had taken a tablet in early December. I was doing a lot of wine promotions. I had a couple too many bottles of wine and had a few late nights. I took a fluid tablet then - that was the first time she (Brigitte) gave it to me. It was to get rid of a double chin," said Warne.
