The real bad boys of sports!

Menino

4) Shane Warne

Shane Warne’s glittering career never ceases to spin a tale. It was February 2003 when he tested positive for a banned diuretic which forced him out of the upcoming World Cup. He was charged with match fixing allegations and slapped with a fine after his involvement with “John the Bookmaker”.

His smoking habits both on and off the field sparked off remarkable controversy in sporting circles. In 2000, he was stripped of the Australian vice-captaincy after pursuing a British nurse with erotic text messages. Old habits are hard to break and he was in the limelight again, standing in his underwear with a pair of 25-year-old models. His efforts to reconcile with his wife were put to rest after accidentally sending a text message meant for another woman to her phone..One for the tabloids!
