Well, I'm down here in Peru and the big news coming out today is Guerrero's suspension has been reduced to 6 months effectively allowing him to play in the World Cup. Needless to say, drinking a little coca tea apparently has FIFA baffled. FYI, coca tea is basically a national drink down here as it helps fight altitude sickness in the Andes mountains. Yes, it's made with coca leaves and water but is in no way the same as doing cocaine.
