Lions wing Dyantyi and springboks, 25, could face a ban after his B and A urine samples returned results that are positive for multiple steroids, however, assistant trainer Proudfoot defended his team’s drugs testing program.
He explained:”We are tested each week, probably six players are analyzed on an off-day every week before the camps we have been around, right the way through the Super Rugby championship.
“I know why the narrative is there, but serious testing is completed of this group, and that is the team I am responsible for.
“Medicine testing needs to be functioning, that is a world sport issue.”
Proudfoot stated the rugby of South Africa ought to be judged by events around the field.
He added:”If you have a look at our Sevens team competing on the world stage, our side third in the planet, the Springboks competing well, the women’s team too.
“So that is the picture of South African rugby which needs to be attained.
“But obviously doping in sport is something which needs to be constantly addressed.”
