The governing body CONCACAF suspended five Mexican players from the Gold Cup – that’s a soccer tournament for hockey lovers – for failing drug tests.

The players blame the beef.

Mexico’s Health Department on Friday said that their beef does not contain clenbuterol and that the incidence of contaminated beef in the country is less than 1 in a million.

Until the investigation is over, we’ll never know. This blame game is all too familiar; blaming something or someone without data to support claims will often end in a prolonged process, which wastes money and precious time that could be used to find the real source of the problem.
