In 2019, Yeo-sang Lee was sentenced to October in prison for administering growth hormone, a prohibited drug, to two amateur athletes. However, it is known that Yeo-Sang Lee stated that he distributed prohibited drugs to active baseball players in 2017, and the wave is growing.
One of the professional players is Song Seung-jun, veteran pitcher of the Lotte Giants. The other is the retired player A. As soon as the report on Lee Yeo-sang came out, Song Seung-jun and Player A denied the allegations.
Lotte Song Seung-jun made its position on the 11th. He said, “At the recommendation of Yeo-Sang Lee, I received a product claiming to be a stem cell nutritional supplement. However, I confirmed that it was a banned drug and returned it, and I greatly rebuked it,” he said.
Retired Athlete A expressed his intention to appeal the final decision notice to KADA, the Korea Anti-Doping Committee.

It seems that the key issue of the drug crisis will be whether to buy and possess. Lee Yeo-sang claimed to have sold the drug for 16 million won, but Song Seung-joon established a confrontation saying that he received and returned it.
Professional athletes may be subject to severe disciplinary action, such as suspension of qualifications, for not only taking drugs but also for possession. The drug wave of professional baseball that started with Yeo-sang Lee is now spreading into the truth game. As the arguments of each other are conflicting, it seems that more time is needed to resolve them. The truth behind the player’s luck is the result of the game.
