North Koreans Fail Steroids Test, Blame Chinese Medicine: Do You Believe Them?

Excuses, excuses. From lightning to traditional Chinese medicine, North Korea's women's soccer team seems to have an endless supply of explanations for times when things just don't go their way.

When North Korea's women's soccer team lost to USA, it blamed the lingering effects of a lightning strike from earlier in the month.

Now that five of its players have tested positive for steroids at the World Cup, the team is pulling out the lightning strike excuse again, reports AP.

It says players recovering from the zap took traditional Chinese medicine—specifically the extract of a gland from a musk deer—that might be confused with steroids.


A FIFA disciplinary committee will be investigating the case and the agency's scientists are looking into the musk deer explanation.

What about you? Do you believe that the North Korean soccer players were only taking traditional Chinese medicine?

    About time SodaHead ask a question directing towards the Women's World Cup (women's sports in general) which has been going on way longer than a month. They couldn't even ask a question about the US Women vs. Brazil game when the US made sports history in that game!

    Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. NK is out. US is in it to win it!

    general women brazil game sports history game nk win Abby Wambach goal against Brazil

    The next game is Sunday (tomorrow) at 1:45 pm western time and 12:45 pm eastern.

    Ol' Kimmy is drugging his sports athletes to make North Korea look superior on the athletic stage.

    This practice was once performed in the Soviet Union and East Germany, and it will continue to be practiced as long as dirty cheaters like Kim Jong Il draw breath.

    I'd just repeat the Solzhenitsyn's line: "Who would believe communists?"
    And "liberals", I would add.

    For those who doesn't know: everything is run by communists in respective countries that once opted for "change".

    This is the communist way. When you lose, lie, propaganize, and spin your way out. I grew up under communism in Eastern Europe. Lies on State controlled TV, newspapers, and radio. Fortunately, the people were smarter than the communist government and laughed at it and dismissed it as nothing more than propaganda machine.

    The first prerequisite to be a communist, Marxist, or socialist is to be a liar. Just look at Obama for an example.

    Another person I think is more forward about these things because of internet anonymity. I doubt in reality this person will be that blunt or honest with their opinion.

    Female and 80 I somehow don't think so.

    Course I could be all wrong in this either way that's my assumption and I don't care if this jerk knows it or not. One of those times I also don't care that much if I'm wrong either way a jerk. so no big loss.
