No toxic substance found in sports drinks linked to students’ illness: police

Hong Kong police have concluded their investigation into the illness of 16 students from Maryknoll Secondary School. The students reported feeling unwell, experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea, after consuming free bottles of "Scream" sports drink during a school athletics meet on Tuesday at Hammer Hill Road Sports Ground in Wong Tai Sin. Police examined the bottled drinks and found no foreign or toxic substances. They determined that the reported "pinholes" were likely perforated lines in the plastic wrapping of the bottles.
