SEOUL: South Korean striker Kang Soo-il, currently serving a doping ban, has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, local police said.

The Jeju United forward was involved in a crash with a taxi on Monday morning and was arrested, an official at the Uijeongbu Police Station said.

The official said Kang and his friend who was also in the car will face further investigation. Earlier this month, Kang received a six-month ban from the Korea FA after testing positive for the anabolic steroid methyltestosterone.
