A Major League Baseball umpire was recently dismissed for what was believed
to be the first known drug ouster among umps, two people familiar with the
situation have told The Associated Press.
MLB announced on June 14 that Brian Runge was no longer on the staff and that
a Triple-A umpire had been promoted, but didn't give a reason. Only once
since 2000 had such a change been made in midseason, and that was because of
an injury.
6/14，在大聯盟有著13年執法資歷的裁判Brian Runge因為不明原因遭到聯盟除名，一位3A
的裁判被拉上來遞補他的位子，這是2000年以來首度在季中有裁判被解職，當時是因為受
傷。
The two people said Runge failed at least one drug test, then reached an
agreement so he could remain on the umpire roster. When he failed to comply
with those terms, he was released.
日前有兩位匿名人士告訴美聯社，Runge沒有通過藥檢（至少一次，次數不明），但跟聯盟
達成了協議，只要能夠遵守就能不被除名，事後看來他似乎沒能照他承諾的去做，於是就
被炒了。
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn't publicly say
why Runge was gone.
因為聯盟沒有說Runge到底是為何被炒，所以兩位人士採匿名的方式爆料。
It could not be independently determined by the AP what drug was involved.
究竟涉及什麼樣的藥物，除了官方沒人知道。
Joe West, president of the World Umpires Association - the union representing
umps - declined comment Tuesday.
世界裁判組織的總裁Joe West不願對此發表評論。
The AP was unable to contact Runge through the union or other umpires.
美聯社也聯絡不上Runge。
Like players, umpires are subject to random drug tests. Oakland pitcher
Bartolo Colon, Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz and San Diego catcher Yasmani
Grandal all missed time this season because of drug suspensions imposed last
year. In addition, 26 players have been suspended this year under the minor
league drug program.
跟球員一樣，裁判也會被隨機抽測藥檢，Colon、Ruiz、Grandal今年都因為上個賽季後沒
通過藥檢而被禁賽，另外今年小聯盟已有26位球員遭到禁賽。
The 43-year-old Runge didn't work in the majors after last Aug. 30 while
dealing with a knee injury. He called spring training games this year and
later did several Triple-A games, but hadn't been back in the big leagues
during the regular season.
43歲的Runge由於膝傷的關係去年8/30後就再也不曾在大聯盟執法，今年有擔任春訓以及
3A球賽的裁判，但仍沒有回到大聯盟。
Runge joined the MLB umpiring staff in 1999. He worked playoffs three times
and last year's All-Star game.
Runge 99年進入大聯盟裁判體系，曾三度在季後賽、以及去年明星賽中執法。
He is a member of MLB's first three-generation family of umpires. Grandfather
Ed was an American League umpire from 1954-70 and worked the World Series
three times; father Paul called National League games from 1973-97 and did
the World Series four times before becoming the NL's executive director of
umpires.
三代都是裁判，可說是裁判世家。
Brian Runge was behind the plate for a pair of no-hitters last year - Philip
Humber's perfect game and the combo effort by six Seattle pitchers. He also
was at third base for Matt Cain's perfect game last season.
另外他是去年Humber的PG以及六位水手投手接力無安打比賽的主審，Cain的PG他則擔任三
壘審。

裁判也要用PED來增加眼力?

裁判吃藥要幹嘛= =?

球吻機率降10%那種嗎?

我猜是吃像是精神科的藥吧,或是真的有濫用藥物(毒品)

感覺應該是毒品吧

毒品+1 或是會影響判決能力的東西

大概判的好可以判進世界大賽

大聯盟裁判也會有壓力嗎？不是爽缺嗎？判得再差再爭議還是有人可以不動如山啊

Joe West都能當總裁 你還要要求什麼

裁判原來也要藥檢

裁判是吃類固醇準備跟球員幹架嗎

至少人家優等生 作弊是為了考高分!

棒子表示:

裁判吃藥增加眼力 = =+

MLB果然是美國私底下的藥物人體實驗區

要跟教頭 球員大小聲 不吃點補品怎麼吵的過

哪需要跟教頭吵架 教頭走出來都是在說I love you的不是嗎XD

是怕有毒癮缺錢被利用吧

可以吃台灣的 阿桐伯明目丸 眼力+10

蛋哥也吃這個嘛XD

不只MLB啊, NBA, NFL 都是, college 也是

吸毒啦 ...

Sechslee:Joe West都能當總裁 你還要要求什麼 ＧＪ！

出來說I love you是哪招XDDD

因為教頭出來吵有一半是在作秀啊，有的根本沒罵裁判

忘記是哪一篇文章有講過總仔跟裁判講那句話 裁判只能偷笑

a搜尋 cat大的文章

還有向裁判抱怨球員連短打都點不好，以及昨晚餐館的菜有多難吃之類的XD
