U.S. national team goalkeeper Hope Solo received a public warning Monday from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after she tested positive for the banned substance Canrenone in a urine test.

Solo has accepted the warning and still will play for the United States in the London Olympics.

Solo, 30, tested positive for Canrenone in a test June 15.

"I took a medication prescribed by my personal doctor for pre-menstrual purposes that I did not know contained a diuretic," Solo said in a statement. "Once informed of this fact, I immediately cooperated with USADA and shared with them everything they needed to properly conclude that I made an honest mistake. … "

Canrenone is classified as a specified substance, so its presence in an athlete's sample can result in a reduced sanction.
