Answer

In 2009, Shane Warne was sent home from the World Twenty20 tournament after being accused of bringing a banned diuretic into the team hotel. The diuretic, called Thymoject, is used to treat asthma and other respiratory problems, but is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because it can be used to mask the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
