L’ailier sud-africain Sibusiso Nkosi, champion du monde 2019, a été suspendu pour trois ans par World Rugby après avoir été contrôlé positif à un stéroïde anabolisant, a annoncé lundi son club des Cheetahs.

« Sbu a subi un test de World Rugby en mai et son échantillon A s’est révélé positif. Il a été suspendu pour trois ans », a déclaré à l’AFP de manière anonyme un responsable du club de Bloemfontein.

L’échantillon a révélé des traces d’un stéroïde anabolisant utilisé par les culturistes et, selon les médias sud-africains, la suspension courra jusqu’au 15 juillet 2027.

Le 2e champion du monde sud-africain suspendu pour dopage

L’ailier de 28 ans, qui a été la doublure de Cheslin Kolbe lors de la Coupe du monde au Japon, est le deuxième membre de l’équipe championne en 2019 à être sanctionné pour dopage. Le demi d’ouverture Elton a été suspendu pour quatre ans en janvier dernier pour avoir utilisé une substance interdite.

Nkosi a porté à 16 reprises le maillot de sa sélection entre 2018 et 2021, et a inscrit neuf essais.

Après avoir joué pour les Sharks et les Bulls, il a rejoint les Cheetahs de Bloemfontein en mars dernier pour un contrat d’un an.

L’ailier a souffert de problèmes de santé mentale lorsqu’il jouait pour les Bulls et a disparu pendant plusieurs semaines en 2022, déclenchant des recherches de la police, avant d’être retrouvé au domicile d’un parent.

Ireland survive wild match in Rome to bag bonus point win over Italy

🙏We are gathered here today to mourn Irish rugby. After many many years of being mediocre, they incredibly got themselves to a No 1 world ranking, which they miraculously held on to for around 14 months. However, despite reaching this incredible feat, they've always underperformed at World Cups, never ever making it past the quarter finals. This form, which could only be described as ‘choking’, also carried through to the 6 nations. Last year they were tipped to win a grand slam, but were beaten by England, so although they won last years 6 nations, they effectively choked again by not winning the grand slam. This year they were tipped by many, along with their mostly delusional media & some fans, to again grand slam the 6 nations, & in the process win a 3rd previously never done before consecutive 6 nations as well. However, they choked once again & not only did they not win the 6 nations or indeed the grand slam, they ended up 3rd on the 6 nations table. It is also a mystery how they got away with nefarious tactics, among other things, such as illegal & dangerous tactics at rucks for years, & also using multiple lazy runners etc, both of which incredibly hardly ever got pinged by referees? Irish rugby will most likely never again reach the highs it has over the last several years. It's over! 🙏

Dust to dust

Irish rugby is done

Everyone has you sussed”.

France deny England and clinch Six Nations title in Paris

I think we need to call out the red card non-decision here and acknowledge the damage that France, through Galthie, have done to confidence in the officaiting and citing process.

It started when Garry Ringrose had club matches included in his ban following similar precedents for (Atonio, Haouas, Danty) who were all carded/cited in match just before fallow week and club matches counted. Ntamacks citing was in week 1 and harder to demonstrate availability for club match with another International match between. Preceednt ~(O’Mahony 2021) was followed. Reading the written decision for Ntamack shows that Galthie understood this perfectly. Yet after the Ringrose ban included club matches, Galthie publicly goes berserk screaming ‘Injustice (against France”. Again, he knows the precedents for Ringrose are all French and indeed the only person preceding Ntamack to have club matches count in that situation was France’s Willemse.

The media swallowed this up wholesale and the story started circulating and being added to without a single journalist/pundit (except rush Mirror) actually reading the Ntamack decision. Sneaky Ireland had better briefs than honest naive France was one random addition by a pundit which becamse accpeted fact without checking etc and added to the circulation.

Angered by losing his star player Galthie again lashes out. He knows know he can de facto attack individual players, the media won’t intervene and as long as he doesnt directly attack an individual official he will stay out of trouble.

So he attacks players who then het threatened by some lunatic French supporters online. Ireland are ‘Butchers’ apparently. The passive head contact earning Nash a yellow now becomes a double head hit on Barrassi, requiring a double red.

France who have more dangerous tackle citings under Galthie than all other six nations combined. They get more favourable outcomes than all other teams. poor France are now the victims of great injustice. It is farce.

But it paid off.

Mauvaka struck the Scottish Scrum half with a diving head butt in Sundays match. Its a clear red. Scotlands back line attack looked superiors to France’s and Scotland were there or there abouts.

What I can only assume is the chilling affect on Galthie’s public attacks Carley send it to the bunker. A deliberate head butt is a clear red on more than one count. There is no doubt, bo grey area.

If thats a red card do France win the match? I would say that Scotland are likely winners, which would have meant England winning the title.

Spilled milk now, but World Rugby, the citing commisioners and officials cannot allow big Unions to publicly intimidate the officiating process and attack individual players from other teams.
