Ben An will think twice next time he’s buying cough medicine.
The 32-year-old South Korean native has been suspended for three months for violating the PGA Tour’s Anti-Doping Policy.
The Tour announced on Wednesday that An had tested positive for a substance prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) contained in a cough medicine available over the counter in his native Korea.
An’s suspension officially began on Aug. 31, which means he will be eligible to return to competition on Dec. 1. According to a statement issued by the Tour, he has cooperated fully with the Tour throughout the process and accepted his suspension. As per Tour policy, the Tour said they would have no further comment on the suspension at this time.
