The sportsman has come under fire for lighting up cigarettes during a fun run for cancer research.

According to The Daily Mail, the former Aussie cricketer stopped during the race to take smoke breaks during the 18km Connor’s Run in Melbourne over the weekend.

Then when it was all over, Shane reportedly collapsed flat on his back and lit up another cigarette.

He was seen to be covering his exhausted-looking face with one hand, while using the other to puff away at the smoke while still lying down.

Shane ran out of puff, so he had a puff.

Onlookers say he looked completely relieved when he was allowed to light up.

Shane lay on the ground catching his breath with the help of the ciggie, before his 18-year-old son Jackson, who was also running, helped him up.

It’s not the first time Shane’s smoking addiction has gotten him in trouble. Check out his law-breaking puff in the video below. Post continues.
