Tunisia's disastrous World Cup campaign was rocked after a number of players - including some who ply their trade in the UK - showed traces of a banned drug in doping tests. Daily Mail Sport understands that no fewer than eight players from the North African nation‚ which sacked its head coach after just one game‚ returned atypical findings for clenbuterol‚ a drug which relaxes airways in the lungs and is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's forbidden list. However‚ officials subsequently found that the presence of the drug was more likely than not down to contamination - thanks to meat eaten by the squad in their Mexico base - rather than performance-enhancing reasons. It is not clear which players are involved in the tests.
