KBO set to launch targeted drug testing

SEOUL, Sept 8 (Reuters) - South Korean baseball officials could introduce drastic anti-doping protocols next year with a plan to target specific players for drug tests.
The Korean Baseball Organisation (KBO) said players who nfl jersey
showed marked statistical improvement would be targeted in a clampdown on drug cheats, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.
The KBO currently tests five local players randomly selected from each of Minnesota Vikings jersey
the eight ballclubs, plus all foreign players.
League officials said they would begin examining the new testing procedures at the end of the season with players exceeding their career averages set to be selected for testing.
“It’s obviously important to test many players,” a KBO official told Yonhap. “It’s more effective to let players know that if their performances suddenly improve they will be targeted.”
The KBO told Reuters talks were continuing with the Korea Anti-Doping Agency (KADA).
“The KBO is considering what steps to take concerning dope tests,” said Ha Ji-heon. “Nothing specific has been decided yet.”
The organisation said it had tested players before the 2010 Dallas Cowboys jersey
season and again in May and August. The league plans to test up to 150 of the 208 players on the active rosters.
Under KBO rules, a first positive test incurs a 10-game suspension and the third positive test a lifetime ban.
