BBL record runscorer Chris Lynn quietly served a one-month suspension after a positive drugs test, and the news has only now surfaced.
Big Bash League great Chris Lynn has served a one-month suspension for a positive drugs test, and the ban has only become public now that it is over. Reports link the result to cocaine, though the details of the case have not been laid out in full.
The 36-year-old was tested after featuring in the T20 Blast finals in England in July. The suspension was completed quietly, and the news emerged roughly two months after he had finished serving it.
The timing adds fresh intrigue to Lynn's immediate future. Only days before the story broke, the former Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers power-hitter was linked with a move to the Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming BBL season, which starts next month.
Lynn holds the BBL record for most runs, and his big-hitting has long made him one of the league's box-office names. With the ban now served and the new season close, attention turns to whether clubs still want him, and how the fallout from the revelation plays out.
