Bowling Baldie

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!
