Chilliboy tests positive for banned substance....again

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author

Toulouse and South Africa hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle has tested positive for the anabolic steroid drostanolone in a control carried out by the International Rugby Board.

French media reports that the 27-year-old hooker is now preparing his defence for a hearing on an as-yet-unconfirmed date.

The test took place on the 19th of March, after which Ralepelle’s urine sample was shown to contain the banned substance.

The 22-times capped Springbok was recovering from knee surgery at the time.

Ralepelle previously tested positive for a banned substance, after South Africa’s clash with Ireland in Dublin in 2010, when his sample was found to contain the performance-enhancing drug methylhexanamine.
