[Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus has said that the World Cup door is not shut on Jantjies](https://www.iol.co.za/sport/rugby/springboks/dietician-zeenat-simjee-back-with-springboks-door-also-still-open-for-elton-jantjies-a32e0d20-73b1-4e4c-8dec-d1e1756ee611), and if he has taken the proactive step to get help for his personal problems, that door will open even wider. Last week, Jantjies told the media (from the rehab) that he understood why he was not picked for the November tour of Ireland, Italy, France and England. Last month, Jantjies was sent home from the Springbok base in Argentina to deal with a scandal that broke in the Rapport, which claimed that Jantjies and Bok dietician Zeeant Simjee were partying in a Nelspruit guest house, although Simjee has denied vehemently that she was Jantjies’ companion.

REPORT: Jantjies checked himself in for 'drug rehab' (The South African)

As part of the 'professional help' that Elton Jantjies has sought out, he reportedly booked himself into a drug rehabilitation centre.

I also want to apologise to the management and squad of my club in Japan, NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes. I sadly let myself, my family, and the rugby-loving people of this country down, and I deeply regret my actions. I do not want to say much about the newspaper article, except that it contains many untruths and half-truths. I take full responsibility for my actions, and I am serious about doing everything in my power to change my behaviour. I want to restore the confidence those closest to me once had in me and win back the trust of the public. “However, I’m fully committed and hope to return to the rugby field as a better man and player. We’d love to be able to assess him in comparison to other flyhalves, but unfortunately we couldn’t do road maps (on his progress) because we haven’t seen him play. I have no doubt this decision will benefit me personally, my rugby career, my family, and SA’s faithful rugby supporters. She is a good friend and nothing more. Earlier this month it was reported that Jantjies had drawn interest from French club Toulon as they continued to search for a flyhalf recruit. “I’ve been training throughout, and I’m in a good space mentally and physically. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

There should be intervention and there should be support. “Jantjies has not officially been tested positive for anything and faces no ban from the sport. “Recreational drug use is a reality in life and elite sports people are a part of this life. I am fully committed and hope to return to the field as a better man and player.” Both have consequences and there should be no distinction in what the player’s poison is when it comes to addiction.

Jantjies must be supported & not ostracized (Keo.co.za)

Springboks flyhalf Elton Jantjies must be applauded and supported for fronting his issues with substance abuse, writes Mark Keohane.

Professional sport has a zero tolerance policy on any recreational and performance enhancing drugs and players know this. There should be intervention and there should be support. The Waratahs, back then, used to have what they called ‘Mad Monday’ at the end of the season. Both have consequences and there should be no distinction in what the player’s poison is when it comes to addiction. I also hope that people, in a position of influence in the industry, acknowledge the reality of the issues that face players and that supporters accept that these players are human and are as vulnerable as any and each one of us to temptation and to the possibility of addiction. He admitted to having taken cocaine at a midweek party.
