I don’t know about the performance…but it could be. It has a stimulant effect. Yes, they should be banned, for the simple reason that it is an illegal drug and has no place in legitimate sports activity.
ya man cocaine always makes me play cricket better, i almost made it to the world series. but i couldnt afford it with all the coke i consumed. but ya take a whole bunch of coke it makes me play better
I strongly protest. You are obstructing the progress of the greats like Shane Warne.
I don’t know whether it is performance enhancing but it is a stimulant….the kind of feeling you get after drinking coffee, it would be a little stronger…..A cricketer FOUND ABUSING this should be banned and NOT someone who had taken a spike drink way before which hardly has any effect on his current performance…..He reported that his drink was spiked immediately, and a subsequent urine test showed traces of cocaine….but now he is fine
On one hand it is, on the other it isn’t.
In the short term cocaine can heighten the senses and as a result enhance hand eye co-ordination as well as general awareness. A player on cocaine may also seem to be extremely motivated. He will seem to be “in the zone”. T20 cricket would be just the kind of game where in the short term, cocaine would be performance enhancing.
In the long term the players addiction will result in poor concentration. His health will decline due to a need for the drug before food and the subject of his motivation will change from cricket to apparently frivolous activities. It will also cause paranoia and this will affect his ability to be a part of the team environment.
It would be impossible for an international cricketer to sustain a career at the top if he was addicted cocaine and addiction is the inevitable result of prolonged use.
Yes it can be performance enhancing and yes it should be banned. The fans deserve better than being duped into supporting drugged up players who play out of their skin for a couple of games before falling from grace in a very public way.
Jason kretzja ,Gilchrist and shame worne~

It wouldn’t be performance enhancing. Sportspeople caught using it should be banned. They bring their sport into disrepute.
