new zealand cricketer bracewell cops 1month ban for cocaine use

New Zealand all-rounder Doug Bracewell has been suspended for a month after testing positive for cocaine, the country's Sport Integrity Commission said.

The 34-year-old, who currently plays for Kiwi outfit Central Stags, failed a drugs test after a domestic T20 game in January.

The commission said it accepted that Bracewell used the substance out of competition, and it was therefore unrelated to sport.

As a result, an initial three-month ban was reduced to one month after he completed a treatment programme.
