Tunisia national team faces doping scandal after 2026 World Cup
Traces of a prohibited substance have been found in the doping samples of eight players of the Tunisia national team at the 2026 World Cup.
This is reported by Daily Mail.
As the source notes, it is about clenbuterol, a drug that dilates the airways and is on the list of prohibited substances of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It could have entered the body after consuming contaminated meat during the Tunisia national team's stay at a training base in Mexico. The players' clubs have already been informed about the situation.
The Tunisia national team was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup following the group stage. After the team's very first match of the tournament, the country's football federation dismissed the head coach of the national team, Sabri Lamouchi.
