May 21, 2009

That’s according toMa Hae-young, a Korean pro player (right), in his new book,Yagu Bonsaek “roughly translated as The True Color of Baseball in Korean,” says this article from JoongAng Daily.

“During my playing days, I witnessed several players taking banned substances such as steroids on a regular basis,” he writes in the book. “It wasn’t just the foreign players who were taking steroids but a few domestic players taking banned substances as well, It’s hard for players, who must produce and therefore are fixated on numbers, to shake away the temptation of taking performance-enhancing drugs.”
