While ex Springbok Elton Jantjies faces a lengthy professional rugby ban, he strongly believes he can make a 'comeback...

Ex-Springbok Elton Jantjies’ rugby career was crash-tackled as he was served with a four-year ban for testing positive for banned substance Clenbuterol, putting a hefty pause on his playing days.

Elton Jantjies's ex Ashleigh Ogle - who previously accused him of drugging - has seemingly thrown shade at his doping ban...

Elton Jantjies has formally been banned from rugby after failing to prove his innocence in a case of doping. 

The fly-half made 46 Test appearances for South Africa, scoring 335 points.

South Africa's flag will fly at the ongoing Rugby and Cricket World Cups after an appeal is submitted over a Wada deadline to update the country's anti-doping laws.

South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) is challenging the declaration that SA is not compliant with the Anti-Doping Code.

As reported by Daily Maverick, the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) issued a statement confirming that South Africa had not updated its anti-doping code and had fallen foul of Wada’s mandatory compliance requirements, for which it now faced consequences. 

South Africa seeks to avoid the embarrassment of its flag being banned from the rugby and cricket World Cups after the country's failure to update its anti-doping laws.

The South African flag will not be displayed at the rugby and cricket World Cups later this month if its national anti-doping body does not appeal a decision by the World Anti-Doping Agency to declare it non-compliant. The consequences of the decision by WADA will come into effect for South Africa on Oct. 14. Its teams are currently playing at those two World Cups.
