Overview
- An A‑sample taken on April 10 returned an adverse analytical finding for an anabolic steroid in Kai Pratt’s test.
- Pratt has requested B‑sample analysis and SAIDS says no hearing has been set and no sanction has been imposed.
- The Sharks say the matter is confidential and confirmed Pratt is recovering from a serious foot injury that required surgery and a roughly six‑month rehab.
- Under SAIDS procedure a ban only follows a formal charge and adjudication so the B‑sample result will decide whether the case moves to a hearing that could affect Pratt’s playing future.
- SAIDS says it continues anti‑doping education with youth provincial teams and notes laboratory scheduling and the athlete’s choices will shape the timeline for the next steps.
