FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Two Mexican players thrown off the team this week at the Confederations Cup were under investigation for the use of banned substances, Mexican soccer officials said Friday.
The defenders, Salvador Carmona and Aaron Galindo, were removed from the team Tuesday by coach Ricardo Lavolpe for what he called "disciplinary reasons."

Both defenders, EIEIEI!

Marquez back for shaken Mexico against Argentina

HANOVER, Germany, June 25 (Reuters) - Captain Rafael Marquez will make a welcome return on Sunday when Mexico, shaken by a doping case involving two of their players, face Argentina in Hanover for a place in the Confederations Cup final.

World soccer's governing body FIFA says it has been informed by Mexico that Aaron Galindo and Salvador Carmona were sent home earlier this week after testing positive in doping controls that took place before the start of the tournament.

The absence of the Cruz Azul duo deprives Mexico of two more defenders when they battle a powerful Argentina side for the right to take on hosts Germany or Brazil.

Mexico having some bad luck
