Gold Cup: Five Mexico players test positive for banned substance
Starters Ochoa, Rodríguez, Sinha among those suspended for taking clenbuterolFive players on Mexico’s Gold Cup squad have tested positive for a banned substance and will be removed from the roster, Mexican Soccer Federation general secretary Decio de María confirmed in a press conference on Thursday. Starting goalie Guillermo Ochoa and first-choice center back Francisco Rodríguez are two of the players who tested positive for clenbuterol, a substance used to treat breathing disorders and that is also used on animals to produce lean meat. The three other players to test positive were Antonio Naelson “Sinha”, Christián Bermúdez and Édgar Dueñas, none of whom started in El Tri’s 5-0 rout of El Salvador on Sunday. www.mlssoccer.com/goldcup/news/article/2011/06/09/gold-cup-five-mexico-players-test-positive-banned-substance

El Tri On Top
Hernández, dos Santos lead Mexico into QFs with 5-0 rout of CubaCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Braces from hot striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández and Giovani dos Santos and another goal from Aldo de Nigris helped Mexico soar to their second 5-0 victory in the Gold Cup, this time against an outmatched Cuba on Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium. Cuba had held Mexico scoreless until the 35th minute, until Hernández met a cross from left winger Andrés Guardado. Still, the Caribbean nation managed to keep things tight, but El Tri flexed their muscles in the second half and, in a 14-minute span, sunk four more goals. www.mlssoccer.com/goldcup/news/article/2011/06/09/gold-cup-hern%C3%A1ndez-dos-santos-lead-mexico-5-0-rout-cubaGold Cup: Costa Rica rescue 1-1 draw vs. El Salvador
Brenes' last-gasp thrust in stoppage time salvages point for TicosCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Just when it seemed as though El Salvador would pull an upset win over Costa Rica, Randall Brenes swooped in and rescued a 1-1 draw for Los Ticos five minutes into second-half stoppage time at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday night in their CONCACAF Gold Cup Group A match. Rodolfo Zelaya had given Los Cuscatlecos a 1-0 lead late in the first half, when he cracked a free kick into the net. The Salvadorans set out the same way they did in their successful first half against Mexico last Sunday. With a solid back four and strong holding midfield, they managed to ward off Costa Rica for the majority of the match. The few options the Ticos were able to generate in the first frame were nothing more than diluted advances by left winger Cristian Bolaños along the flank and a couple of bullied attempts by Real Salt Lake striker Álvaro Saborío. Deadly goal scorer Marcos Ureña hardly got a touch and was substituted in the second half by Bryan Ruiz www.mlssoccer.com/goldcup/news/article/2011/06/09/gold-cup-costa-rica-rescue-1-1-draw-vs-el-salvador
