ASDA dismisses multiple tablet claim

The Australian Sports Drug Agency has dismissed a newspaper report today that Shane Warne's positive drug test indicated he had taken more than one banned diuretic tablet.

ASDA chief executive John Mendoza says the drug test carried out on Warne would not have been able to determine if multiple tablets were present in the player's system.

ASDA today completed its part in the Warne saga.

It has handed over results of the leg-spinner's B sample to the Australian Cricket Board after his lawyers ruled out challenging the validity of the testing procedure.

The ACB says Warne's hearing is likely to be held by the end of the week, with an announcement on the date to be made later today.
