CBS Radio’Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’ on the 11th, “The Korea Anti-Doping Committee caught the charge of selling banned drugs to active professional baseball players A and B for 16 million won by former professional baseball player Yeo-sang Lee (37).” Reported.
Athletes A and B, who were accused of buying a banned drug, explained in an interview with CBS that’I heard it through stem cells and returned it the next day after knowing it was a banned drug’ and’I thought it was a stem cell-based nutrient.’
A is a player registered as an active player in the KBO League in 2021, and B is retiring and working as an amateur leader.
Lee Yeo-sang was sentenced to 10 months in prison in December 2019 after being charged with injecting and selling prohibited drugs after receiving money from youth players in his baseball class. In January 2020, the Korean Anti-Doping Committee (KADA) was suspended for six years for athletes and leaders.
If the’Lee Yeo-sang scandal’ is confirmed to be true, professional baseball will not be able to avoid major bad news from before the start of the 2021 season.
The KBO secretariat explained, “I received a notice from KADA at the end of last year regarding the suspicion of purchasing retired player B.” “I received a notice from the KADA sanctions committee on the 9th, and I know that the notice was sent to player B.
He added, “The KBO cannot disclose the exact procedure or details because it is the appeal period for Player B until the end of this month.” He added, “When Player B returns to the professional as a leader, the disciplinary level, etc. will be determined.”
The KBO secretariat also said, “I have not received any notification from KADA regarding active player A, who is charged with the same.”
