Tunisia's elimination in the group stage of the World Cup was considered a huge disappointment for the African team. Meanwhile, another development has caught the attention of international media.
According to the Daily Mail, eight Tunisian national team players have tested positive for clenbuterol, a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Clenbuterol is used in some countries as an ingredient in medications to treat respiratory problems. However, according to the report, it is suspected that the footballers may have ingested the substance unintentionally, through the consumption of contaminated meat.
At this time, the likelihood of disciplinary action or suspensions against the players is considered low, as the indications so far suggest that the exposure to the substance was unintentional. However, it is expected that the competent authorities will complete their investigations to clarify the full circumstances of the case.
In terms of sports, Tunisia ended their World Cup adventure without a single point in the group. From the same group, the Netherlands, Japan and Sweden were also eliminated in the subsequent stages of the tournament.
