According to The Latin American Herald, a second test of the pre-screened samples of the five taken from the Mexican National Team proved to be free of any banned substances. Following their suspension, the five players were taken directly to the UCLA Lab for a second blood test.
A statement released by the Mexican Soccer Federation said "the UCLA Laboratory has informed us that the tests conducted June 10 on the five aforementioned players, have come back negative."
Guillermo Ochoa, Edgar Dueñas, Francisco Rodriguez, Christian Bermudez and Antonio “Sinha” Naelson were suspended June 8 after testing positive for clenbuterol, a drug commonly used cattle and for asthma, which can enhance the body’s aerobic capacity. The Federation then asked Concacaf for permission to name five substitutes for the Gold Cup tourney, which began earlier this month in the United States.
The Mexican Federation said it will have no further comment on the case until it completes its internal investigation
