Failed Drug Test
In September, 2008, Marshall was training for the Stanford Super Series and was forced to withdraw from the team when it became public that he had tested positive in a pre-Series drug test. The West Indies Cricket Board did not announce what substance Marshall had tested positive, but they later announced that they would not be taking action against Marshall, because he was not participating in a West Indies uniform at the time.

Famous quotes containing the words failed, drug and/or test:
“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Most people aren’t appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn’t take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
