West Indies allrounder Andre Russell has committed an "anti-doping whereabouts" rule violation, the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) told Reuters on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old, named in the West Indies squad for the ICC World Twenty20 in India that starts next week, has missed three doping tests within a 12-month period.
