Vaughan wants more drug testing
Posted by Undercover 999 on Wednesday, 27 February 2013
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has said out-of-competition drug testing would be a "step forward" in the wake of Tom Maynard's death. "If you had [drug testing] on a regular basis, there would be a starting point of potentially wiping it out completely," Vaughan told BBC Sport. Surrey batsman Maynard, 23, was high on cocaine and ecstasy when he died last June, an inquest heard on Tuesday. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is now preparing to step up teing. A jury at the inquest decided that Maynard's death was accidental after he was electrocuted on a live railway track before being hit by a train. The hearing was also told that tests on hair samples indicated Maynard may have been a regular drug user up to three and a half months before his death.
