Indian cricketer, Yusuf Pathan was ousted from the recently concluded Ranji Trophy 2017-18 season after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told the Baroda Cricket Association not to pick the all-rounder.
This was after Pathan tested positive for Terbutaline, a banned substance during the tournament last year.
It is learnt that Pathan consumed the medicine, named Brozeet, since he was feeling unwell and the medicine contained Terbutaline.
Athletes need to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) to consume particular medications. However, in this case, Pathan consumed the banned substance without proper authorisation. Nor he or his team doctor took the prior permission before using the drug.
