		In a press statement, SARFU said the union had been acknowledged as having the "most effective anti-doping regulations in the world" by John Davies, medical consultant to the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and spokesman for the doping task team of the International Rugby Board (IRB).

	Krige 'scores' against Sarfu: Sport: Rugby: News24
		The Stormers captain surprised Sarfu on Wednesday when his legal team submitted 249 pages of case studies, other documents and a number of annexures, containing, inter alia, newspaper cuttings of articles in which Sarfu president Brian van Rooyen criticised his own union.
		Sarfu's head of policy and regulations, Christo Ferreira, who is acting as prosecutor in the hearing, asked that the hearing be postponed until Krige returned from the Stormers'; Australasian Super 12 tour in May.
		In short, it said Sarfu's code of conduct was in conflict with the South African constitution, since it violated Krige's right to freedom of speech, as stipulated in article 16 of the constitution.

		The then newly-founded Sarfu took a decision that former SA Rugby Board (incorporating the SA Rugby Federation and SA Rugby Association) players and administrators, and former SA Rugby Union (Saru) players and administrators, who qualified for national colours in their respective pre-unity bodies, should be appropriately recognised.
		This was later reaffirmed by the Sarfu executive committee at a meeting in 1997 where it was recorded that ex-Saru players, as well as delegates and committee members at national level, who qualified for their national colours, were eligible for Sarfu national colours.
		The banquet in October, is not being funded by Sarfu.

		The campaign is the affirmation of a decision taken by Sarfu at its formation after unity in 1991/92.
		For Sarfu, it is important that former national players from the pre-unity bodies are known to rugby's new generation of supporters.
		By honouring these former players, Sarfu will be closing the chapter on the past and opening a fresh chapter for the new millennium.

		SARFU also reaffirmed its commitment to co-operating fully with the Ministry of Sport with regard to its planned investigation into alleged racism within the broader rugby community.
		Keohane, who has been waging a public campaign against SARFU to launch an independent investigation, based on his report that the incident was racially motivated, maintains that the latest findings are as flawed as those of the original Ferreira/Brand investigation.
		Referring to the Basson report's findings on 'Kamp Staaldraad', the SARFU CEO said the fact that those individuals who were responsible for the camp were either no longer employed by SARFU or otherwise contractually linked to SARFU, made disciplinary steps legally impossible, whatever the merits or demerits of the camp might have been.

		Asked if he believed that the Sarfu dispute - which is due for arbitration at the CCMA on Thursday - was the reason for his return, Matfield was coy.

		The South African Rugby Players Association (Sarpa), which represents all the country's professional players, has declared a dispute with SA Rugby, saying that the leaders of the sport were "two-faced", had "no integrity", and pursued a policy of trying to fool the public.
		Sarpa gave Sarfu (the South African Rugby Football Union) seven days to respond to their letter of dispute, sent to Theunie Lategan, SA Rugby board chairperson, on Wednesday.
		Sarpa's main grievances are that its members do not have representation on the Sarfu board and do not receive funding from the national body, as is the case with other rugby nations like France and Australia.

		The players had already set up a players' union and Edward Griffiths, the forward-thinking former SARFU chief executive who was sacked by Luyt, had been lined up as a possible figurehead.
		"At the heart of SARFU is a fear of the sport being taken over by the fls like the rest of the country," he said.
		Sacrificing the tours from the northern hemisphere countries would have burned a large hole in SARFU's pocket, but to have jettisoned their participation in the Tri-Nations tournament would have be unsustainable.

		It would be in the interest of SARFU to explain to the South African public why such elements continue to dominate the rugby scene more than three years since the establishment of a purportedly non-racial sports body.
		Equally disturbing is the statement by Rian Oberholzer that SARFU will not cooperate with the Ministry of Sports and Recreation in the genuine attempt to clear issues which, it left unattended, will continue to project a negative image of a sport with a great potential to unite and reconcile.

		Just as rugby had achieved widespread adoption among fl and gay people and the springbok had come to represent liberty and freedom, SA Rugby has torn itself apart with politics.
		Mark Keohane, the former communications manager for Sarfu (the South African Rugby and Football Union) in his two or so years working for the organisation, transformed the sport into one that was widely appreciated by fl people, gay people, vegetarians and pacifists.
		But in the last year or so, he noticed how every shebeen he went to would passionately be cheering on the bokke, and how soccer had taken a back-seat in his opinion to this new unifying force.
