Does it matter which recreational drug Kagiso Rabada tested positive for?

  • South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada served a one-month suspension after a January urine test during the SA20 league revealed the presence of a prohibited substance.
  • Rabada faced disciplinary action after testing positive for benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite, during the SA20 tournament, with the national anti-doping agency overseeing the process amid some criticism.
  • He chose not to test the B sample, served his suspension quietly after returning from India in early April, and remains eligible for upcoming international duties.
  • Saids CEO Khalid Galant said, "If you know you did it, it saves you time and legal fees," while South African cricket officials defended the process as professional and within anti-doping regulations.
  • Rabada is now selected for South Africa's World Test Championship final squad against Australia at Lord's in June, highlighting ongoing debates about drug use and disciplinary standards in cricket.
