The flaring of another of cricket's increasingly regular chucking scandals - this time surrounding West Indian Jermaine Lawson - has brought back painful memories for Brett Lee, the most recent Australian to be accused of one of the game's worst sins.
While Lawson's immediate future will become clearer once International Cricket Council officials view the video footage of the 21-year-old they have requested, Lee three years ago had to go through the ordeal of having his action checked by the ICC's illegal bowling panel.
The panel cleared the speedster to continue, similar to how other prominent bowlers, including Pakistan paceman Shoaib Akhtar and Sri Lankan off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, have been cleared in recent years.
But Lee said the stigma of being queried as a possible chucker would be a cross he would always have to bear.
"That was probably the hardest thing [for me] in Test cricket, when my action was questioned," said Lee, who did not wish to comment on the trials facing Lawson. "I had to go through a panel to get it cleared up ... and I've been labelled now.
"I've proven that I've got no problem with my action but you still get the people in the stands chipping you on occasions."
Mike Procter, the ICC referee officiating in this series, has confirmed he has requested video of Lawson for investigation of his bowling action.
If further action is deemed necessary, Lawson will be referred to the ICC's bowling panel, and may be stood down from the game while his action is corrected.
