# Rugby: Springbok prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye has tested positive for a banned substance and has subsequently been ruled out of the upcoming New Zealand tour. The 26-year-old provided an adverse analytical finding during testing by the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport. Ntlabakanye disputes that he has committed an anti-doping violation. SA Rugby says Ntlabakanye relied on the relevant professional medical advice, and at no time did he seek to obtain an unfair advantage, nor did he take any medical substance without prior medical authorisation.
