Doug Bracewell, a former New Zealand bowler, was banned for one month after testing positive for cocaine. The ban was reduced from three months after completing a treatment program. New Zealand Cricket emphasizes the need for athletes to set positive examples for future generations.

Doug Bracewell, former fast bowler for New Zealand, recently completed a one-month suspension after testing positive for cocaine, according to the New Zealand Sport Integrity Commission.

The 34-year-old was found positive following a domestic Twenty20 match in January, but managed to reduce his initial three-month suspension through a treatment program.

New Zealand Cricket has reiterated the importance of athletes serving as positive role models. While expressing frustration, they continue to support Bracewell as he resumes his cricketing career.
