Cricket News 2025, South African Proteas boss Tim Paine about Kagiso Rabada Drugs Banskandal

The head of the South African Cricket has targeted the former Australian test captain Tim Paine for criticism of Kagiso Rabada's drug scandal.

Superstar Proteas Fast Bowler Rabada, Rabada, served a protected ban after being tested positively for a leisure medication.

He left the Indian Premier League short, but due to the manner of his one -month suspension, he only played a few days after the punishment was published.

It ensured an international task because he originally left the IPL “personal reasons”, which led to accusations that had been banned in the carpet.

The former Australian captain Paine made headlines when he aimed at the South African cricket.

“It stinks,” said Paine to Sen Radio last week.

“I don't like this use in personal problems and it is used to hide things that are not a personal problem.

“If you have a professional athlete who is tested for leisure drugs during a tournament at which he plays, this does not fall under personal problems.

“You broke your contract. This is not a personal problem, that's something that happens in your personal life.

“Drug consumption – leisure or performance improvement – is not a personal problem that can only be hidden for a month.

“A man can be removed from the IPL, withdrawn to South Africa and we simply let it slide under the carpet. Then we will bring it back as soon as he has already served his ban.”

The South African cricket boss Andrew Breetzke has now returned servant and accuses Paine of being naive.

“The criticism that comes from Australia is a bit naive and there is no lack of how doping processes are managed,” he told sports boom.

“Effective (Rabada) was notified on April 1 of the positive test, and we consulted it with him for the first time on April 1st. In accordance with the Saids and the Wada rules, there is a clear process that follows from this, and we immediately flew this process with it to bring the legal team together, the medical expert was put together and the process was regulated with the process in relation to the rules.

“This is exactly how it developed.

“If someone tests positively for drug abuse, the rules are quite clear. If it is taken into account in the competition, it is a two -year suspension if you can prove that it is not in competition, you can bring it to three months. If you go into a certain advisory program, you can roll it over one month.

“We held these boxes, and so the trial dismissed in April.

“It was treated professionally and (Rabada) was absolutely professional, open and honest in this process, which is why we could do it within this time frame.”

Rabada is now free to stand for the proteas when they compete against Australia in the world test championship final of the next month.
