Warne doping committee announced today

MELBOURNE, Feb 17 AAP - The Australian Cricket Board today announced its three-person anti-doping committee for Shane Warne's hearing.

Former Test player and selector Peter Taylor, Justice Glen Williams from the Queensland Court of Appeal and medical specialist Susan White will form the committee.

Justice Bill Gillard from the Victorian Supreme Court, who was a member of the ACB's previous two anti-doping committees, ruled himself out of this hearing.

The ACB said Justice Gillard informed the board he had acted for Warne as a barrister on a procedural matter about a decade ago.

The champion legspinner tested positive to a diuretic last month and could face a ban of up to two years if found guilty of the charge of taking a banned method.

He is yet to receive the result of his B sample test and so the board cannot set a date for the hearing.
