Rotson Kilambe

Rotson Kilambe is a retired Zambian footballer.

Career

A striker, Kilambe played in South Africa for Kaizer Chiefs, Bloemfontein Celtic, and Mamelodi Sundowns and for Power Dynamos, Yunnan Hongta, and Zanaco F.C. in his native Zambia.
Kilambe debuted for the Zambia national football team in 1998 and has since played a major part in his country's successes. He played at the 1998 and 2000 African Nation Cup Finals.
In September 2001, he was suspended for 6 months from international football since he tested positive for cannabis use following a World Cup qualifier against Cameroon. Kilambe was the first African player to be banned by FIFA on doping related charges. The ban denied him the chance to play at the African Nations Cup Finals in Mali.
Kilambe scored the winner and only goal of the game for Bloemfontein Celtic in the SAA Supa 8 2005 final and then repeated the feat one year later, scoring for Kaizer Chiefs in the 62nd minute of the 2006 final.
