World Rugby 2022 WR vs Tavonga Ablant

In September 2022 World Rugby reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Zimbabwean rugby player Tavonga Ablant after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).

Following notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by World Rugby.

The Athlete admitted the intentional use of the substance. Because the Athlete gave a prompt admission and signed the acceptance of sanction within the set deadline he received a 1 year reduction from World Rugby.

Therefore World Rugby decides on 9 February 2023 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 27 September 2022.
