(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Chang-yong = Song Seung-jun, 41, a veteran pitcher of the Lotte Giants, a pro baseball player who is surrounded by suspicions of purchasing banned drugs, began to refute.
On the 11th, Song Seung-jun made a statement through the Lotte club and said, “In 2017, I was invited by Yeo-Sang Lee to recommend a product that claims to be a’stem cell nutrient.’ As a result of inquiring with the personal trainer on the evening of the day, he confirmed that the product was a prohibited substance, and the next day he returned it directly to Yeo-sang Lee and reprimanded him.”
He added, “I am telling you that there was no financial transaction and drug use,” he said. “After that point, all of the official doping tests conducted by the Korea Anti-Doping Committee (KADA) were also negatively determined.”
“I am currently cooperating with KADA’s investigation,” he said. “Because the investigation is taking place, I have a lot of things to say, but I will spare no words and work on the procedure well afterwards.”
Song Seung-joon, who is scheduled to end his active career with a retirement game this season, apologized for causing concern to fans before a beautiful farewell.
He bowed his head, saying, “I’m sorry for causing concern to the fans with the bad news.”
CBS Radio’Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ reported on the day that “KADA caught the charge of selling banned drugs to active professional baseball players A and B for 16 million won in 2017 by former professional baseball player Yeo-sang Lee.”
A is a player registered in the KBO league as an active player in 2021, and B is retired and is working as an amateur leader.
Although it was an anonymous report, Song Seung-jun, who was designated as Player A based on several clues, immediately refuted.
The Lotte club also said through an official statement, “I had an interview with Song Seung-joon right after the report.”
