Blog Article
It was belatedly revealed that Heo In-hoe, who is popular for his unique appearance and game style on the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour, was suspended for taking banned drugs.
Heo In-hoe said on social media on the 8th, "We have been sanctioned by the Korea Anti-Doping Commission for six months of suspension on charges of taking a banned drug called 'trimadol'."
He explained that he had gout symptoms, so he sometimes took medication containing trimadol, a pain reliever, prescribed by a doctor.
Trimadol was not a prohibited drug until 2023, but since last year, it has been changed to "no use during the game."
Heo In-hoe explained, "I was not aware of the new change due to my carelessness, and the doctor in charge prescribed the change without recognizing the change in regulations, causing this situation."
The suspension was reduced to six months due to intentional negligence, Heo In-hoe added.
Heo In-hoe, who said, "I had to have a hard time until the final decision was made at the end of April," said, "Many fans came to the venue thinking I was participating, but I am sorry that I could not tell you in advance because the final decision has not been made. And I apologize for causing concern to the association, sponsors of the tournament and all the fans who support me over this incident. While I can't compete in the competition, I will prepare harder and greet you with a better performance in the second half," he said.
In other words, Heo In-hoe has revealed itself why he has never participated in domestic and international competitions this year.
Heo In-hoe's regular participation period is from January 23 to July 22.
During this period, Heo In-hoe is not allowed to compete in official domestic and international competitions.
Heo In-hoe's return to the KPGA Tour is expected to be the KPGA Founders Cup, the opening game of the second half of the KPGA Tour, which starts on September 4.
The KPGA Tour will be held in July and August after the Gunsan CC Open on June 29.
This is why there is a greater possibility that he will play his return match first at the overseas tour tournament in August. 바카라사이트
