Gambling problems apparently are not limited to Taiwanese baseball. Sixteen active players in the Korea Baseball Organization, including 13 from one team, have been accused of taking part in illegal internet gambling. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office says it suspects the 16 players to have gambled over 1 billion won (or about $678,000US) on an illegal gambling website operated by Koreans overseas.
According to the prosecutors, 13 of the players are from the Samsung Lions, two are with the Hanwha Eagles and one plays for the Lotte Giants.
The investigation is ongoing, and KBO secretary general Hal Il-sung says the league will discuss its own disciplinary measures afterward.
