KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 (Reuters) - South Korean forward Kang Soo-il has tested positive for a banned steroid, officials said on Thursday, with the player blaming a moustache growing cream for the doping failure.
The K-League said the Jeju United player had the anabolic steroid methyltestosterone in his system after a test by the Korea Anti-Doping Agency (KADA), Yonhap News reported.
Kang, 27, was in Kuala Lumpur with the South Korea national team who beat the United Arab Emirates 3-0 in a friendly before they head to Bangkok to take on Myanmar next week in their World Cup qualifying opener.
