Apparently it's not that big of a deal, but I guess the warning still goes on her record.

Are there any prescription medications that don't contain a banned substance anymore?

That canrenone is good shit.

Many drugs used for female conditions and illnesses contain diuretics. They have to be even more careful than the men do because of it.

You hope someone named Solo, I assume you don't mean Han, tests positive? Who is Solo.

Personally, I could care less about soccer. Though at least women playing soccer is more fitting, since it's a girls game anyways.

But it's funny that the U.S. anti-doping agency got a positive test from a major star on the Women's team, and chooses to just hand out a slap on the wrist, I can't help but feel if this were an Archer, Cyclist, or Rower, they would have been dismissed from the US Olympic team.

As in all sports and has always been said, "You are responsible for what goes into your body", if you're an athlete you should make sure your doctor knows if any substances they prescribe are on the banned list, and then double check yourself.

The whole "My personal Doctor prescribed it, and we didn't know" excuse, isn't an excuse anymore.

So you care a little bit?

Not about Soccer, but about the US Olympic team, yeah.

I bet that goalie she threw under the bus a few years ago slipped this to her.
