Urving Kemp, Christian Diaz of Curacao Neptunus suspended for 4 Years

Posted on February 12, 2018February 12, 2018 by philipp

Two players of reigning Dutch Hoofdklasse champion Curacao Neptunus Rotterdam received bans for testing positive at a doping test last summer. Urving Kemp and Christian Diaz were suspended for four years each by the responsible sports authority in the Netherlands. The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) had suspended both players right away after the positive doping test. Now the verdict is in. Kemp is reported to have accepted the ban, while Diaz is appealing.
