There has been a response from the Springbok camp amid reports that there is the threat of having to compete under a neutral flag.
last week, it was revealed that South Africa has apparently not met the deadline to amend the outdated drug-free sport act in order to comply with the latest World Anti-Doping Code . Consequences could reportedly see both the Springbok and Proteas teams unable to participate under a national flag, while also being unable to sing the national anthem.The Springboks are set to be in Rugby World Cup quarter-final action this Sunday, while the Proteas are also in Cricket World Cup action this week.
As it is, the government are confident in complying with the WADA code and avoiding any sanctions going forward.
