Australia's Chris Lynn banned for using cocaine

## Positive Test and Suspension

Australian cricketer Chris Lynn has completed a one-month suspension following a positive test for cocaine during the T20 Blast Finals Day in England. The test, conducted on July 18, revealed the presence of benzoylecgonine, a cocaine metabolite, in his system.

## Admission and Rehabilitation

Lynn admitted to using cocaine outside of a competitive setting, stating it was unrelated to his cricket performance. He participated in an approved rehabilitation program, which led to a reduction in his suspension from three months to one.

## Impact on Career

Following the positive test, Lynn was provisionally suspended and has not played professional cricket since. He was also sidelined from the Lanka Premier League due to a leg injury. Although he has not yet signed a Big Bash League contract, reports suggest he may join the Melbourne Renegades.
