Warne Saga Continues
Saturday, August 23 2003
Embattled Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne’s rapid fall from grace as continued following his announcement today that he will pull out of all officially organised training sessions.
Warne, in a press conference held in Melbourne crown casino, announced he would no longer train with any organization under the jurisdiction of Cricket Australia.
He feels he does not want to jeopardise any sponsorship his team-mates could receive by training with the national or Victorian squad.
Understandably, Warne was furious at the drawn-out nature of the affair – 6 months after he was banned, rulings still seem to be handed down on the nature of his suspension.
Cricket Australia and the ACA’s indecisive action has caused 6 months of confusion in the 12-month ban thus far.
Meanwhile, Warne’s wife Simone also spoke for the first time since the Helen Cohen Alon saga, stating she is behind her man.
The pair is expected to take a vacation outside Australia as early as tomorrow.
