Doosan spreads eight-member proxy prescription scandal

It is known that incumbent junior players delivered sleeping pills prescribed by proxy to Oh Jae-won (39, former Doosan), who was arrested and charged with drug administration and prescribed psychotropic drugs by proxy.

According to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) on the 22nd, Doosan baseball team reported to the KBO Clean Baseball Center two weeks ago that eight of its players prescribed sleeping pills to Oh Jae-won on behalf of him. On this day, a media outlet reported, "Oh Jae-won told his juniors to 'get sleeping pills' since early 2021, and he reportedly investigated himself and said that it was difficult to go against the request because he was the team's captain and a scary senior."

Earlier on the 17th, the violent crime investigation department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office arrested Oh Jae-won on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act. Doosan's club conducted its own investigation at a time when Oh Jae-won's drug use problem arose and found out the related facts. During the investigation, Doosan confirmed that it was an order and coercion that could occur due to the nature of the baseball team's group life and strict hierarchy. In fact, Oh Jae-won assaulted his juniors who refused, and even threatened to "stab them with a weapon" if he leaked the proxy prescription.

Doosan was angry that its former player carefully and viciously used his younger players out of sight, but bowed its head, saying, "I am sorry to baseball fans and league members." Currently, the identities of the eight players are not known due to strict security. However, a baseball player who was well informed of Doosan's news hinted that "they are not the main players, but mostly young players who go to and from the first and second teams."

The KBO is closely monitoring the situation, weighing on the possibility of unfair victims if it prematurely takes out a disciplinary card. The KBO explained, "We will prepare countermeasures after watching Doosan's team's investigation and police's investigation."
