Five Mexican soccer players who tested positive for the illegal steroid clenbuterol will not face sanctions after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) determined that the positive tests were caused by eating contaminated meat. WADA said there is “compelling evidence” that Mexico has a “serious health problem” with meat contaminated with clenbuterol and is now warning athletes visiting Mexico to “eat in cafeterias designated as safe by event organizers.” Clenbuterol is illegal for use in food-producing animals in the US and is not approved for human use by the FDA.
An unidentified man was arrested after running onto the seventh green of the Frys.com Open in San Martin, California, and throwing a hot dog at golfer Tiger Woods, 35. “It wasn’t a chili dog,” security director Dan Diggins told CBS Sports. “That could have been really bad.”
Ann L. O’Connell, 48, of Johnsburg, Illinois, was arrested and charged with theft for allegedly posing as a parent volunteer and stealing money from a concession stand at a Barrington High School football game. Police recovered $304 she had allegedly stuffed inside her popcorn box before heading to the bleachers to watch the game. ![]()

Clenbuterol is not a steroid. It is a stimulant. The official human usage is for asthma symptoms. It is frequently taken by steroid users to reduce the bloating that steroids can cause. It is also used by dieters, as it raises body temps a bit, which can help burn fat.
Mexico may have some tainted beef, as this is also another common usage for clenbuterol.
