2 South Korean baseball players indicted in gambling case (Yahoo Sports)

South Korean prosecutors have indicted two baseball players for allegedly manipulating games for gambling purposes in what could be another blow to the reputation of the country's professional sports leagues. Prosecutors in Changwon city on Thursday said they believe pitcher Lee Tae Yang, a starter for NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, deliberately allowed first-inning walks and runs in two games last season after receiving 20 million won ($17,500) from a gambling broker, who has been arrested. Moon Woo-ram, an outfielder currently with South Korea's military baseball team in the KBO's second-tier competition, was also indicted for allegedly receiving 10 million won ($8,770) in cash and gifts from the broker for connecting him with Lee, according to a statement from the prosecution office.
