In a sport such as Cricket which requires a sedentary style of
athleticism: run, stop, run, stop, drink beer, smoke, run, stop, etc the
use of steroids would not be of much advantage - unless you were trying to
recover rapidly from an injury. Cricket is a bit like darts in that
respect; except without the sharp projectiles.
Without doubt Warnie is guilty of one thing: stupidity. Either he has
taken banned drugs to help him recover or he has taken it with blind
faith. In reality he will not get out of it without the minimum of
penalties and most assuredly his career is over.
If he does get off it will open the door for every Ben Johnson-type
cheat to say: "My mummy made me do it."

His crime is also his punishment. And I have sympathy for him in that regard: Is he smart enough to know how smart he is?
