A statement has been released by Canoeing South Africa with regards to the incident between Hank McGregor and Jacques Theron at the Umkomaas Canoe Marathon.

After the 2010 Umkomaas Canoe Marathon which was also the S.A. K2 River Championship, Hank McGregor physically attacked Jacques Theron, one of the winners of the marathon by hitting him with his fists. The CSA Board appointed a disciplinary committee to deal with this matter and the matter was heard on Saturday, 20 March.

Hank McGregor pleaded guilty to the charge of having contravened section 7 (c) of the Byelaw to rule 7 of the CSA Rules and Regulations and was found guilty of that charge.

The disciplinary Committee as well as the CSA Board accordingly imposed the following sentence namely that: “Mr McGregor is suspended from canoeing for a period of 12 months from the date of the incident, 6 months of which suspension is itself suspended on condition that Mr McGregor enrolls for and satisfactorily completes an Anger Management Course to the satisfaction of CSA”.
