Mexico blames tainted meat after soccer players fail dope test | Reuters
Five Mexico players suspended from the Concacaf Gold Cup after failing a doping test had eaten contaminated meat and should be cleared after a second test, a Mexican soccer official said.
"Unfortunately, by accident, these players ate beef contaminated with the substance clenbuterol," he told a news conference following Mexico's 5-0 win over Cuba in Group A. "We're confident that with the investigation that is being carried out we'll be able to clarify (the situation) and reach a happy conclusion," he added.
Gonzalez said the players would fly to Los Angeles on Friday for another test at the University of California Los Angeles's certified laboratory which would "surely be negative."
"We will ask also for the B samples (of the original tests) to be opened and we will await the results," he added.
