The verdict is in for Elton Jantjies. After testing positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance, the South African fly-half has been suspended for four years by SAIDS. « The athlete did not exercise his right to have his case heard before an independent anti-doping hearing committee, » the organization stated.
Last August, the 33-year-old player was caught off guard and expressed shock and sadness while maintaining his innocence. His agent revealed to the South African press that they had looked into the possibility of challenging the test result. Jantjies, who was part of the South African team that won the Rugby World Cup in 2019, has earned 46 caps for the Springboks.
