MLB Umpire Drugs Base_Lanc.jpg

FILE - In this July 28, 2010 file photo, home plate umpire Brian Runge reacts after being hit in the mask by a foul ball off the bat of Chicago White Sox's Paul Konerko during the first inning of Chicago's baseball game against the Seattle Mariners in Chicago. Two people familiar with the situation tell The Associated Press that a Major League Baseball umpire was recently dismissed for what was believed to be the first known drug ouster among umps. The two people tell the AP that 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. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because MLB didn't publicly say why Runge was gone. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)
