Cricketer Adam King has been banned for two years for the possession and use of banned substances. DFSNZ chief executive Graeme Steel said order prohibited substances online resulted in a high risk of being caught. The Sports Anti-Doping Rules apply to athletes at all levels of sport and those who buy prohibited substances online are making a huge mistake. "In this case, Mr King has paid a high price for a poor decision which has affected his future in cricket." The case highlighted that using banned substances to get "an edge" was outright cheating.
