Best excuse or denial for doping!

Wow, this one is not even that funny because WADA’s handling is bat-sh*t crazy and obviously politically or image protection motivated. Can you imagine the blowback from China and elsewhere if they banned 23 athletes en mass before the Olympics?

This could be a great strategy for large teams. If all athletes dope with the same product you just have a blanket excuse ready (common dining, AC system, whatever) and then if the drugs are detected the IOC or WADA have to deal with a too-big-to-fail problem.

Indeed! What are the odds that TMZ gets gets in the kitchen and all over the place? I mean, "it did not explain how a prescription drug available only in pill form had contaminated the kitchen"

  Lightning Strikes Women’s World Cup Team
  Five players on the North Korean women’s World Cup team fail a drug test—the result, North Korean officials explain, of steroids that were mistakenly ingested after lightning struck the athletes during training. The lightning strike is also offered as a reason for the team’s 2-0 loss to the United States.

North Korea: Women's football's sleeping giant
