In August the Mexico soccer federation was trying to defend a doping decision. Five soccer players where found guilty for using Clenbuterol; a drug substance while in training camp for the Gold Cup. This made a bad reputation for all five players that are all surrounded by teammates, friends, families, and coach's. The Clenbuterol came from the players eating meat which they didn't know was contaminated at the time, which is also starting to be more frequent. The Mexico Football Federation is ready to defend its problem to clear the players that all tested positve.
Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, the defenders Edgar Duenas and Francisco Rodriguez, and midfielders Antonio Naelson and Christian Bermudez all were suspended during the Gold Cup in June but, were dropped from the team then later got their suspensions lifted. This case is goin to be very long and expensive that the federation has to put up with. The player's could face up two or four year's of suspension by the World Anti-Doping Code rules. The president of Mexico has acknowledged a lot that Clenbuterol is a very big problem in Mexico and the drug is also used to make live stock look more bigger.
