Sydney, Feb 25: To appeal or not to appeal? Shane Warne is in a dilemma. While many say reconsidering the case may lead to a two year ban and he doesn't want to go through more heartache, others feel he does want to appeal against a total one-year ban. "The leg-spinner can appeal against a particular part of the Australian cricket board's anti-doping committee findings, but the national disputes Centre still has the option of reviewing the entire case and altering the verdict," Sydney morning herald said quoting legal sources. "That is the risk he takes, even with a part-appeal. He is upset about the severity of the ban and the fact it encompasses all ACB-affiliated cricket, and he is hoping to get the ban for non-international matches overturned," they said. Warne, who was banned from playing the game on Saturday, has seven days - until February 28 - to appeal against the decision of the ACB's anti-doping committee.


Meanwhile, Australian cricketers association chief executive Tim may suggested that the current anti-doping policies be "watered down".

"The drug codes must be properly addressed to make sure that people who are not drug cheats are not penalised as drug cheats," may told a newspaper.
