In September, 2008, Marshall was training for the Stanford Super Series and was forced to withdraw from the team when it became public that he had tested positive in a pre-Series drug test. The West Indies Cricket Board did not announce what substance Marshall had tested positive, but they later announced that they would not be taking action against Marshall, because he was not participating in a West Indies uniform at the time.

—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

Wine or love drug him to sleep,
Waking he thanks the Lord that he
Has body and its stupidity....”
