Cricket South Africa announced on Wednesday the Indian Premier
League (IPL) had cleared Proteas' fast bowler Dale Steyn of any
doping violation.
"There was a discrepancy in the result of a doping test during
the IPL," commented CSA CEO Gerald Majola, "but the authorities are
satisfied with the explanation that Dale has provided and they have
confirmed that no offence has been committed."
He added CSA remained totally committed to the International
Cricket Council's anti-doping programme.
Steyn will link up with the rest of the Proteas' Standard Bank
ODI squad for their training camp at Potchefstroom at the end of
the month ahead of the ICC Champions' Trophy which CSA will be
hosting in September and October.
