Tharanga suspended for three months

[StriKe]

Sri Lanka opening batsman Upul Tharanga tested positive for a banned substance at this year's World Cup, an ICC source told Reuters. Left-hander Tharanga scored two centuries in the tournament co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and was the fifth highest run-getter. "The ICC will not comment on this as per World Anti-Doping Agency regulations," an ICC spokesman said. Tharanga, 26, has played 15 Tests and 121 one-day internationals for Sri Lanka and scored 12 international centuries. Sri Lanka's Sunday Times said Tharanga had claimed he was prescribed prednisolone by an alternative medicine practitioner who had treated other cricketers in the past. Prednisolone, a corticosteroid, is on the WADA banned list. Sri Lanka Cricket, the national governing body, could not be reached for comment. Source

Just go through the wiki, It's used for eye infection and allergic.

Gambhir took some corticosteroid for his problems too. I think the issue here is that the substance is on the b& list of WADA but I don't think tharanga took it to enhance performance.

[Sir john]

tharanga is innocent.

Did he play the final? If not, then it describes the sudden change of the SL squad.

Holy crap, I thought that shyte was a medicine to begin with. Dosen't people with asthma take it? Is this a joke from the ICC or something?
