Hope Solo Drug Test -- Star's Image Could Be Hurt

Hope Solo's image could be hurt with the way her failed drug test results were handled.

From Bleacher Report: "...This is not a situation of an athlete taking performance-enhancing drugs to be better than the competition. Solo responded in a statement to the USADA: 'I took a medication prescribed by my personal doctor for pre-menstrual purposes that I did not know contained a diuretic.'"

"Athletes often use this type of excuse when in similar situations. The words 'I did not know' are often littered somewhere in an apology, even though they should know better."
