Australia's famous former cricketer is now involved in another controversy as the advertisement for his 888 online poker business appeared on a hardcore porn website.
The ad, which showed a smiling Shane Warne throwing cards and gambling chips towards the camera, appeared on a website that features explicit and adult videos. However, Shane Warne's manager said that he nor his client has no idea how the ads appeared in such website. Below is a video of the ad of the 888 online poker.

The cricketer's brother and the general manager of the Shane Warne Foundation Jason Warne said that he will inform his board members about this. He also added that the 888 online poker has become a sensational game that helped the charity raised enough funds for the sick and underprivileged children.
"If they were breaking the law, then obviously that's something we'd take umbrage to and disassociate with but I don't know. It's something that I'll speak to the board about and get their opinions on, but it's not something I really want to take a stand on myself just off the cuff." Jason said to Economic Times
Controversy is no longer new to Shane Warne who has been involved in many.
