Springbok 2019 Rugby World Cup winner Sbu Nkosi has been banned for three years after testing positive for an anabolic steroid.
“Sbu had a World Rugby test in May and his A sample was positive. He has been banned for three years,” a Cheetahs official, who requested anonymity as he is not an official spokesman, told AFP.The 28-year-old winger, who understudied Cheslin Kolbe at the World Cup in Japan, is the second 2019 champion to be barred for doping.Nkosi made the first of 16 international appearances in 2018 against England and won his last cap against New Zealand three years later. He scored nine Test tries.
After stints with the Sharks and Bulls, Nkosi joined the Bloemfontein-based Cheetahs last March on a one-year contract. Kaizer Chiefs’ coach Nasreddine Nabi urges fans to be patient and manage trophy expectations as he focuses on building a strong team. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has taken to Test rugby like a duck to water and is rightly being hailed as the ‘next big thing’ in SA rugby.
