The Canadian Press article says it's an "administrative error", but whatever you call it, Panama is out of the Baseball World Cup in Taiwan because seven players on the Panamanian team failed to turn in proper proof of insurance. It's unclear how this was determined, but I don't believe the Panamanian players tested negative for insurance on a urine test.
Mexico takes Panama's place in the quarterfinals and plays Cuba as Panama had to forfeit its initial win of the tournament against Spain.
