Choi Ji-man has expressed his intention to enter the KBO League, but some point out that it could be controversial because he has a history of being caught taking banned drugs in the past. His history of drug use could be an obstacle to his advance to the KBO League.메이저사이트
Choi Ji-man was suspended from 50 games by the Major League Baseball Secretariat in 2014 after testing positive for a banned substance while playing in a minor league under the Seattle Mariners. At that time, he requested a re-examination, but the Major League's decision was not reversed.
KBO, which aims to be "clean baseball," has proposed four completely unacceptable acts: match fixing, sex crimes, drug use, and drunk driving.
Recently, former Lotte Giants second-tier coach Park Jung-tae was appointed as the head coach of SSG Landers Futures and resigned due to controversy over drunk driving charges in the past.
Recently, KBO has put more emphasis on morality.
Oh Seung-hwan was fined 10 million won after being charged with overseas gambling, not the four items strongly sanctioned by the KBO.
When Oh Seung-hwan attempted to return to the KBO League, KBO suspended him for 72 games.
Kang Jung-ho, who was drunk driving, also attempted to return to the KBO league, but his registration was canceled due to the authority of the KBO president. Kang was sentenced to probation.
However, Choo, who was indicted on charges of drunk driving and fined 675 U.S. dollars for six months, played in the KBO league without any disciplinary action. This was due to the logic that the KBO has no right to punish those who have never been registered in the KBO.
This is expected to apply to Choi Ji-man. Choi Ji-man has never registered in the KBO.
