Background
The Tunisian team is facing new pressure after the discovery of banned substances in the samples of eight Tunisian players. Clenbuterol is a beta-2 agonist that acts as a bronchodilator in the treatment of certain respiratory diseases, but it also has the ability to enhance muscle growth and reduce fat, which is why the World Anti-Doping Agency has banned its use in competitions.
