LOS ANGELES - Five Mexican footballers who were suspended from the Gold Cup for doping after testing positive for the banned substance clenbuterol were flown to Los Angeles on Friday for more tests.
Mexico won 5-0 over Cuba on Thursday after opening last Sunday with a 5-0 rout of El Salvador, a result that could be protested in the wake of doping positives revealed on Thursday from a May 21 test during Mexico's training camp.
CONCACAF, soccer's governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean had said on Thursday that the victory over El Salvador would stand.
