Ryan Louwrens (18) of the Valke Rugby Union and Sonwabile Ntezo (21) of the Eastern Province Rugby Football Union were both suspended for two years for the use of anabolic steroids.
"This is a massive concern, especially the use of anabolic steroids amongst younger players. These are players on the cusp of their professional careers in rugby," said Dr. Shuaib Manjra, a member of the South African Rugby Union's Disciplinary Tribunal.
"We have an obligation to release their names and send a strong message to everyone involved that such behavior is completely unacceptable - in South African rugby and sport in general. That is also why we've imposed serious sanctions on these players."
