Summary The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has cleared its five players of doping.
The President of the Disciplinary Commission of the FMF, Alfonso Sabater said that its five prized players tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol in May ate “contaminated meat” and will be completely exonerated of doping charges by the national football body.Sabater defended the five suspended players and subsequent investigations into the scandal, arguing that the five suspended players had been punished enough and, under FMF and FIFA protocol, they should not be banned from FIFA tournaments.Mexico’s five A-list players were suspended from the national team just days before the team was due to kick off its run in the prestigious Gold Cup tournament.
