A Major League Baseball umpire was recently dismissed for what was believed
to be the first known drug ouster among umps, two people familiar with the
situation have told The Associated Press.
MLB announced on June 14 that Brian Runge was no longer on the staff and that
a Triple-A umpire had been promoted, but didn't give a reason. Only once
since 2000 had such a change been made in midseason, and that was because of
an injury.
6/14，在大联盟有着13年执法资历的裁判Brian Runge因为不明原因遭到联盟除名，一位3A
的裁判被拉上来递补他的位子，这是2000年以来首度在季中有裁判被解职，当时是因为受
伤。
The two people said Runge failed at least one drug test, then reached an
agreement so he could remain on the umpire roster. When he failed to comply
with those terms, he was released.
日前有两位匿名人士告诉美联社，Runge没有通过药检（至少一次，次数不明），但跟联盟
达成了协议，只要能够遵守就能不被除名，事后看来他似乎没能照他承诺的去做，于是就
被炒了。
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn't publicly say
why Runge was gone.
因为联盟没有说Runge到底是为何被炒，所以两位人士采匿名的方式爆料。
It could not be independently determined by the AP what drug was involved.
究竟涉及什么样的药物，除了官方没人知道。
Joe West, president of the World Umpires Association - the union representing
umps - declined comment Tuesday.
世界裁判组织的总裁Joe West不愿对此发表评论。
The AP was unable to contact Runge through the union or other umpires.
美联社也联络不上Runge。
Like players, umpires are subject to random drug tests. Oakland pitcher
Bartolo Colon, Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz and San Diego catcher Yasmani
Grandal all missed time this season because of drug suspensions imposed last
year. In addition, 26 players have been suspended this year under the minor
league drug program.
跟球员一样，裁判也会被随机抽测药检，Colon、Ruiz、Grandal今年都因为上个赛季后没
通过药检而被禁赛，另外今年小联盟已有26位球员遭到禁赛。
The 43-year-old Runge didn't work in the majors after last Aug. 30 while
dealing with a knee injury. He called spring training games this year and
later did several Triple-A games, but hadn't been back in the big leagues
during the regular season.
43岁的Runge由于膝伤的关系去年8/30后就再也不曾在大联盟执法，今年有担任春训以及
3A球赛的裁判，但仍没有回到大联盟。
Runge joined the MLB umpiring staff in 1999. He worked playoffs three times
and last year's All-Star game.
Runge 99年进入大联盟裁判体系，曾三度在季后赛、以及去年明星赛中执法。
He is a member of MLB's first three-generation family of umpires. Grandfather
Ed was an American League umpire from 1954-70 and worked the World Series
three times; father Paul called National League games from 1973-97 and did
the World Series four times before becoming the NL's executive director of
umpires.
三代都是裁判，可说是裁判世家。
Brian Runge was behind the plate for a pair of no-hitters last year - Philip
Humber's perfect game and the combo effort by six Seattle pitchers. He also
was at third base for Matt Cain's perfect game last season.
另外他是去年Humber的PG以及六位水手投手接力无安打比赛的主审，Cain的PG他则担任三
垒审。
