Cape Town - Western Province and Stormers lock Gerbrandt Grobler has received a two-year ban after testing positive for an anabolic steroid.

According to Netwerk24, the test was done last October during the Currie Cup.

When Grobler was informed of the result, he admitted his guilt and made a settlement agreement with the South African Institute for Drug Free Sport (SAIDS). He therefore gave up the right to have a hearing.

In recent press releases, WP Rugby cited "personal medical reasons" for why Grobler was not in action.

The Stormers play their final Super Rugby warm-up match against the Boland Cavaliers at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, having already notched pre-season wins over the SWD Eagles (34-3) and the Cheetahs (39-31).

They start their Super Rugby campaign against the Bulls in Pretoria on February 14.

Another wee-pee scared of the Sharks pack and resort ing to Roids to keep the pace.

 Another you say sharkbok - who is the other?Moenie Bull sh---t ou guppie bokkie!
What a pity as Etzebeth is out for 4 weeks and Carissa for 3. But we still have Ruan Botha, Jean Kleyn and of course Elstadt and Rhodes can play lock. What a dismal start to the season with this and the guys still out via injuries!!!
We could play a second string side against the Bulle! 

 Sharkbok
Who is he other WP lock who has been found guilty of steroid usage?

 Exactly Mike I think this guppie fan is needs to provide some evidence! 

 Kiwi teams are counting on the Stormers to knock out the Bulls, sharks & a few other SA teams again this year. Keep up the good work boys, we do appreciate it.
But seriously, it is a long season with the RWC looming so better to have injuries earlier rather than later.

". . . who is the other?"

Pffffffffffffffhahahahahahahahaha!

There are none so blind as those who will not see!

What amazes me about the Hapless Stompies is not just the fact that they cheat by putting their players on these steroid programs, it's the fact that they cheat and they're still such a crap team!

 rooitwit I knew you would sound off on this matter like a loonie. BUT as per usual there is no substance. Just remember who won the Currie Cup. 

The oak hails from Naboomspruit, or is it Nelspruit ......... probably started with all that skulduggery when playing for the Bulle .

Sounds like an one-off.......lets move on.

Western Province hit by drug bombshell February 3 2015 at 09:35am
By Zelim Nel and Michael Doman Comment on this story

Cape Town - Western Province’s Currie Cup success last year has been tainted by a failed drugs test. Lock Gerbrandt Grobler addressed the team on Monday to confirm that he had failed a test for steroids last year.

(...)

Grobler, who turns 23 on Friday, missed the 2014 Super Rugby season with a broken ankle and made a late return to duty during the latter stages of the Currie Cup.

During this time he was randomly selected for testing.

Province beat the Lions 19-16 at Newlands in the decider, and Grobler came off the bench for the final 10 minutes of the match.
