In July 2024 World Rugby reported an anti-doping rule violation against the South African rugby player S'Busiso Nkosi after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Boldenone.
Following notification the Athlete gave a timely admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by World Rugby.
World Rugby deems that the Athlete's violation was intentional and determines that he shall receive a 1 year reduction for his timely admission of the anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore World Rugby decides on 5 September 2024 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 16 July 2024.
