POLICE in South Korea have placed the country's marathon head coach Jeong Man-hwa under investigation for allegedly injecting athletes with illegal substances.
"We are in the process of investigating whether the coach provided illegal drugs to 10 athletes," a police spokesperson said yesterday. Jeong, whose runners include an Asian Games gold medalist, was defended by the Korea Anti-Doping Agency, which said the athletes took only vitamins and no banned substance. "The police have visited us about this doping-related case," a KADA spokesman said. The police investigation comes on the heels of an embarrassing soccer match-fixing scandal in which 10 K-League players were banned for life last week.
