The Springbok winger is awaiting a hearing on his alleged doping offences.
Aphiwe Dyantyi’s long wait for clarity on his rugby future continues.

According to SARugbymag, the 26-year-old Lions and Springbok winger has submitted his statement of defence in response to being provisionally suspended for testing positive for banned substances last year.

One of his legal representatives confirmed to the publication that Dyantyi is now merely awaiting a hearing date South African Institute for Drug Free Sport (Saifs).

The flyer, who was on the crest of a wave after being named World Rugby’s Breakthrough-Player-of-the-Year in 2018, was flagged for an adverse finding after he was tested at a national training camp.

He requested his B-sample to be tested, but was returned positive too.

“I want to deny ever taking any prohibited substance, intentionally or negligently, to enhance my performance on the field. I believe in hard work and fair play,” he said in an initial statement at the time.

“I have never cheated and never will.”

Kan dalk waar wees, hy het waarskynlik die middels geneem om gouer van 'n besering te herstel, en nie vir performance enhancement nie, maar dit gaan nie vlieg as verdediging nie

Stem, die enigste manier dat hy moontlik kan loskom, is as hy kan bewys dat hy dit totaal onbewustelik ingekry het (wat baie moeilik gaan wees), of as hy kan bewys dat hy dalk bv. deur die leeus of bokke se spandokter behandel is, en onder die indruk geplaas is dat dit in die geval van die behandeling wettig was (ek onthou met die varkgriep epidemie van so n paar jaar gelede het SAIDS die behandeling van spelers met sekere verbode middels goedgekeur, solank dit net voor die tyd met hulle ge kommunikeer is).
Ek wil nie negatief wees nie, maar ek weet nie hoe hy sy onskuld hier gaan bewys nie.

Unfortunately with that cocktail of drugs he had in his system, it will be extremely hard to prove unintentional use. Which is so sad as he was a brilliant player, and could have been a huge star.
