    "Frankfurt, Germany – North Korea is blaming football’s worst doping scandal in almost two decades on using steroid-laced medicine from musk deer glands to treat injuries from a lightning strike at a training camp for the Women’s World Cup."

    An earlier defeat was blamed on several of their players getting hit by lightening, so the Ministry of Truth is certainly keeping story consistent.

    Clemens could have avoided a lot of legal troubles if he took this route.

    I actually used this story on my Sunday morning newscasts. I emphasized the believability factor (or lack thereof) by playing a soundbite of Dr. Evil saying "Riiiiiiiiiiiiight."
