'It stinks': Tim Paine slams secrecy over Rabada's failed drug test, calls for transparency

Former Australia captain Tim Paine has slammed the lack of transparency surrounding Kagiso Rabada's failed drug test, calling for full disclosure from the authorities handling the matter.

In a shocking revelation over the weekend, Rabada disclosed that he is serving a provisional suspension after testing positive for a banned recreational drug. The South African pacer had left the IPL last month after playing two games for Gujarat Titans, citing personal reasons.

“It stinks. I don't like this use around personal issues, and it being used to hide stuff that isn't a personal issue," Paine told 'SEN Radio' on Monday.

"If you have a professional sportsman that's tested for recreational drugs during a tournament in which he is playing, that doesn't fall under personal issues for me. "That falls under you have broken your contract. That is not a personal issue, that is something that is happening in your personal life," he added. The positive test was recorded during the SAT20 league in January.
