SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Australia test cricketer Stuart MacGill was found guilty of taking part in the supply of cocaine by a Sydney court on Thursday after the jury cleared him of involvement in the commercial supply of the drug.
The 54-year-old, who had pleaded not guilty, admitted to the use of cocaine and to introducing his partner's brother to his drug dealer, state broadcaster ABC reported.
A group of men were arrested a month later in connection with the abduction of MacGill, who said he had been taken to an abandoned house where he was beaten and threatened with a gun.
MacGill, a spin bowler who probably would have played more than 44 tests if he had not been a contemporary of Shane Warne, will return to court for sentencing in May.
