Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) says the use of Broncleer cough syrup by athletes cannot be a sports anti-doping matter as the drug does not contain substances listed under prohibited lists.<\/p>\n

WADA was established in 1999 as an international independent agency to promote doping-free sport.<\/p>\n

Responding to emailed questions from Chronicle, WADA senior manager, media relations and communications, James Fitzgerald, said Broncleer does not contain any banned substances. He said:<\/p>\n

The product contains no prohibited substance and, as you suggest, actually negatively affects performance.<\/p>\n

Why is this a sports anti-doping matter? What is it that WADA should look at?<\/p>\n

Warriors\u2019 doctor and chairman of the Africa Zone VI Region anti-doping organisation Nick Munyonga also said Broncleer does not contain prohibited substances. Said Munyonga:<\/p>\n

It (broncleer) contains Codeine and alcohol, which I understand are not on the prohibited list.<\/p>\n

Recently, Bulawayo City FC coach Philani \u201cBeefy\u201d Ncube claimed that 80 per cent of Zimbabwean footballers abused drugs, particularly Broncleer. Ncube was quoted as saying:<\/p>\n

I can tell you that almost 80 per cent of Zimbabwean players are on drugs. I will not mention names but when we played Highlanders there was a player from their end who was clearly under the influence.<\/p>\n

He was just sleeping. I know for a fact that he takes drugs. Then you hear people saying the coach must go.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem is that some of the fans are selling these substances to the boys.<\/p>\n
