Kia club said that the e-cigarette Brooks ordered online and was trying to bring in from the United States was under customs investigation after a cannabis component was detected.
Kia plans to notify the KBO of this fact and ask Brooks to voluntarily withdraw.
Brooks said, "I ordered it knowing that it had no marijuana ingredients," and said, "I'm sorry for damaging the honor of the fans and the club."
Brooks, recruited by Kia last season, succeeded in renewing his contract with 11 wins, and this year he has also played the role of the ace of Kia with a record of 3 wins, 5 losses and a 3.35 ERA.

Kiwoom outfielder Song Woo-hyun was caught driving under the influence of alcohol in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the night of the 8th.
The police received a report that "a car driving in the reverse direction collided with a street tree" and came to investigate Song Woo-hyun, and it was found that he was intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.202%, which exceeded the license revocation standard.
Kiwoom, who caused a scandal due to an away drinking scandal just before the Tokyo Olympics, was unable to stop the athletes from deviating even after introducing a 'recurrence prevention measure' four days ago.
Korean baseball, suffering from a series of bad news, starts the second half of the league tomorrow in the worst mood.
