The Zimbabwean, who has already quit international cricket, has been banned for three-and-a-half years for violating ICC's Anti Corruption Code.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has handed former Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor a three-and-a-half-year ban for breaching four charges of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code and, separately, one charge of the ICC Anti-Doping Code. (More Cricket News)
Taylor has been banned for the incident about which he had recently revealed on social media. He had informed that two years back he was forced by an Indian businessman to receive money for spot-fixing in cricket after the businessman blackmailed him with a video of his taking cocaine.
Taylor, in his post, revealed that he was reluctant to take the money but clarified that he was not involved any sort of spot-fixing. He, however, added that he reported to ICC바카라s Anti-Corruption Unit four months after the incident.
Taylor, who called time on his international career in 2021, has been found guilty of failing to report the issue to ICC바카라s ACU in time.
바카라Mr Taylor chose to admit the charges under the provisions of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code and agreed a sanction with the ICC in lieu of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing,바카라 said ICC.
Taylor has also been charged for doping, which is a separate incident that resulted from an In-Competition test conducted on 8 September 2021 following Zimbabwe바카라s match against Ireland. He had tested positive for a cocaine metabolite and has now been suspended for one month for that offence. However, his suspension will run concurrently with the suspension of three and a half years under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.
바카라Taylor was able to establish that he had ingested the substance out of competition, that it was unrelated to sport performance, and because he is currently undergoing a rehabilitation treatment programme,바카라 said ICC.
Meanwhile, Alex Marshall, ICC General Manager 바카라 Integrity Unit, said, 바카라It is disappointing that a player of his (Brendan Taylor바카라s) experience chose not to fulfil those obligations (under the ICC Anti-Corruption and Anti-Doping Codes).바카라
바카라I would echo Brendan바카라s message to other players to report approaches as soon as they happen so any corrupt activity can be disrupted at the earliest possible opportunity. We wish Brendan well in his rehabilitation,바카라 he added.
