South Africa fly-half Elton Jantjies has denied he had an affair with Springbok team dietician Zeenat Simjee.
Married fly-half Jantjies and dietician Simjee left the squad on Monday amid reports in South Africa the pair have been having an affair. It came just months after Jantjies was detained at an airport over allegations about his behaviour on a flight that allegedly saw damage caused to a plane.
Other than a cryptic social media post, Jantjies had kept his counsel to date - although he has now released a statement in which he denied having an affair with Simjee. However, he did still apologise for his behaviour.
