Mthunzi Mabeta

The Vodacom Blue Bulls' young lock Mthunzi "Fudge" Mabeta has been tested positive for the use of cannabis.

He tested positive on 11 October at Loftus Versveld after the under 21 semi-final against the Lions and will know his fate early in December.

Mabeta's legal representative Gerrie Swart said the case is sub judice and they are still negotiating with other parties whether Mabeta's second monster must also be tested.

If Mabeta's second monster is also positive he will have to appear before a disciplinary committee, but fortunately cannabis is not a performance enhancing drug and this will count heavily in the players' favour.

In the past rugby players who have been found guilty for the same offence were banned for three months.
