Banned Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies has vowed to make a return to the sport.

Jantjies, 33, was slapped with a four-year ban last year after testing positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol, a fat-burning and asthma medication which also enhances stamina.

Traces of the substance were found in a sample taken from the player on 20 June while he was a member of the Bok training squad.
