Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Bowling Baldie

by SixandOut on May 18th, 2006

Shane Warne is once again in the news for something other than cricket, and this time it’s nothing to do with his allegedly lascivious extra-Cricketicular (get it?) activities. Nope, once again his image is at stake - specifically his hair.

An advert for a hair-loss treatment featuring Shane Warne has been found in breach of industry rules.

His appearance in the Advanced Hair Studio advert was seen as celebrity endorsement of a treatment which uses medicine.

After getting banned in 2003 for failing a drugs test (claiming his “mum” told him to take it) you’d think he might be a bit more careful. But then that’s always been his problem - the diuretic he took are commonly used to control weight. But when you’re the world’s best bowler, I suppose you can afford to be a little cocky.

P.S. Shane Warne’s middle name is Keith.

P.P.S. Instead of advocating miracle cures to baldness, perhaps Warnie should have a look at Baldiness - a helpful blog for the folically challenged!
