Warne had already been involved in a “match-fixing” scandal in the mid-90s, when he supplied pitch and weather-related information to an Indian bookie. He had lost the Australian vice-captaincy in 2000 when a phone sex affair with a British nurse came to light. The same year, he was given $200,000 to quit smoking and was caught on camera by a schoolboy puffing away. On almost all occasions, Warne had resorted to the defence that it was his personal life and the public had no affair to intervene, which was paradoxical considering he was a public figure.
