Clenbacterol is used in treating asthma, but it is forbidden to athletes because it can contribute to muscle mass growth and lower body fat.

However, authorities believe the players have not deliberately used the forbidden substance. It is alleged that traces of the clenbuterol in the body are the result of contaminated meat consumption.

The Sunnisian national team was in Monterrey during the championship, and in parts of Mexico, cases of the use of klenbuterol in the livestock were recorded with a view to increasing animal muscle mass and reducing fat content.

The players' names have not been disclosed, nor has any disciplinary procedure been initiated against them.
