Hope Solo Tests Positive for Drugs and Megan Rapinoe Tests Positive for Lesbianism!

Hope Solo, US women's soccer team shot-stopper.

Hope Solo tests positive for drugs ~ well not actually.

According to USADA, Hope Solo tested positive for canrenone, a prohibited diuretic ahead of the 2012 London Olympic Games. Once informed of this fact, Solo turned herself in and fully co-operated with authorities who concluded there was no foul play and an honest mistake was made.

Solo's doctor-prescribed medication for "pre-menstrual purposes" and the prescribed medication was discovered to contain canrenone in therapeutic doses and for this reason, Solo was only given a public warning instead of a suspension. Certain types of diuretics are prohibited by USADA as they flush athletes bodies of fluids and make the detection of other substances more difficult.

"As someone who believes in clean sport, I am glad to have worked with USADA to resolve this matter and I look forward to representing my country at the 2012 Olympic Games in London," Solo said in response to the announcement.

Solo is one of 14 American athletes to receive a sanction under the United States Olympic Committee's anti-doping policies this year but is one of only three who managed to avoid suspension.

MEANWHILE.....

U.S. Olympic star Megan Rapinoe makes her homosexuality public

Megan Rapinoe.

Following in the footsteps of Anderson Cooper, star US midfielder Megan Rapinoe announced to Out Magazine that she is gay. Rapinoe went on to explain that she has never hid her sexuality in the past but has never been asked to comment on it in public and so never felt the need to.

"I feel like sports in general are still homophobic, in the sense that not a lot of people are out . . . I feel everyone is really craving [for] people to come out. People want -- they need -- to see that there are people like me playing soccer for the good ol' U.S. of A." Echoed Rapinoe.

Solo has NOT tested positive for steroids or any performance enhancers and this kind of mistake is more common with athletes than you may think. This means Hope Solo is still totally awesome and I would still like to keep my marriage proposal that I issued last year on the table. Megan Rapinoe's sexuality shouldn't really be our business and so long as she continues to whip in quality crosses, I think it's not our place to care. It's not even like we can really say we are shocked, she kinda looks like one doesn't she ~LES-B-Honest? After all, her hairstyle is one of the 4 official ways to spot a lesbian (see #2).  

Bottom line is, what kind of preparations is the US Women's Soccer team undergoing which involves so many pointless distractions??
