SEOUL, Nov. 30 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean baseball club Samsung Lions on Mon
day released a veteran relief pitcher facing illegal gambling allegations.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said the Lions left their 39-year-old pi
tcher Lim Chang-yong off their protected list. Lim was summoned by Seoul prose
cutors last week over illegal overseas gambling suspicions. During a 13-hour i
nterrogation, Lim admitted to gambling in Macau but denied he bet as much mone
y as what a gambling house owner earlier claimed.

In October, Lim and two of his teammates were left off the Lions' roster for t
he Korean Series, the KBO's championship final, in light of their gambling all
egations. The Lions, which had won the KBO titles in each of the previous four
 years, lost to the Doosan Bears in five games.

Lim led the KBO with 33 saves in 2015, his second season back with the Lions a
fter a brief stint with the Chicago Cubs. Before joining the big league club,
the right-hander had spent the previous five seasons with the Tokyo Yakult Swa
llows in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.

He made his KBO debut with the Haitai Tigers in 1995. He pitched for the Lions
 from 2000 to 2007 before leaving for Japan. He has recorded 232 saves in his
KBO career, second on the all-time list.

林昌勇因為之前前往澳門豪賭之後被韓國檢察官傳喚之後，勇勇認了他在澳門的確有賭博
，可是賭資沒有賭場老闆說的那麼誇張
今天三星獅把他釋出（可能依照合約裡的條款？！），已經39歲的他還有機會繼續打球嗎
？
