Sri Lanka batsman Upul Tharanga failed a random doping test during the Cricket World Cup, a Colombo newspaper said on Sunday, though the ICC declined to confirm the report.
Sri Lanka's Sunday Times said Tharanga has already retained a lawyer to defend himself at an upcoming International Cricket Council inquiry, quoting unnamed sources.
The report said Tharanga has claimed that he was given a steroid by a faith healer in Colombo who also treated other international players.
"There's nothing I can say at this stage," ICC spokesman James Fitzgerald said in response to the report.
