An unnamed Orlando Pirates player has failed a drug test, according to reports.

EWN reported on Wednesday that SAIDS Chief Executive Khalid Galant confirmed a Pirates player had failed a doping test.

The players’ B sample reportedly confirmed that he had tested positive for cocaine.

A hearing has been set for August 31 as the player has contested the findings.

Pirates are due to play Kaizer Chiefs in the season-opening Carling Black Label Cup this weekend.
