How very sad that another top South African rugby player has allegedly been found to have used illegal substances and is potentially facing a lengthy ban.
The latest to be caught out, according to Sunday publication Rapport and AFP , is former 2019 World Cup-winning wing Sbu Nkosi who has reportedly tested positive for using an anabolic steroid, following a World Rugby test in May this year.
Troubled rugby careerNkosi only recently joined the Cheetahs where it appeared he would get his rugby career back on track following his move to the Bulls from the Sharks two years ago.
Nkosi was one of the most talented wings in the country prior to the 2019 World Cup, but lost his way in KwaZulu-Natal, before he found a new home at the Bulls.
However, he also battled to settle in Pretoria and went missing towards the end of 2022 , saying the pressures of professional rugby were too much to handle.
