Kinki University announced that five men in the soccer club were using cannabis.
The university has also contacted the police to find out more about it.
This was revealed by Kinki University at a press conference in Osaka City on the 5th.
According to this, on the 30th of last month, some members of the soccer club provided information to the coach that "there are members using cannabis," and the next day, when we interviewed all 62 members, they were in the second grade. It means that five male members from the first grade to the fourth grade approved the use of cannabis.
One of the members said that he bought cannabis from a person he met on Twitter and used it with three other teammates from December to May last year.
The remaining one is that he received cannabis from a man he met at a nightclub in Osaka last October.
The university contacts the police and sets up its own research team to investigate the details.
The Kinki University Soccer Club belongs to the first division of the Kansai Student League and was 8th last season.
In response to this issue, the university has suspended the activities of the soccer club indefinitely and declined to participate in the current league match.
