They caught a few, then tested more, and boom... 5 players known in all.

Blatter said the North Korean federation "wrote to us and they presented their excuses. They said that a lightning strike was responsible for this."
....
The North Koreans first mentioned the lightning incident after losing their opening match to the United States. When North Korean officials were asked later, they refused to elaborate on the circumstances.

I'm sure the North Korean fans were both horrified and relieved to learn that their loss to the USA had nothing to do with the quality of their players, and everything to do with a freakishly accidental lightning strike.

Ah, the excuses we make to avoid the gulag.

Didn't the coach of the men's world cup team get sent to the gulag?
