The Tunisia national team found itself at the center of a major controversy following a disappointing World Cup campaign. According to the Daily Mail, doping tests conducted on eight players during the tournament returned positive results for clenbuterol.
Despite this, a suspension for the Tunisian team appears unlikely. Authorities are leaning toward the explanation of food poisoning. It is believed that traces of the substance entered the players’ bodies through meat consumed at the team’s base in Mexico, where clenbuterol is used in livestock. A similar incident occurred during the 2011 Gold Cup.
