SEOUL, South Korea -- The South Korean womens professional basketball league has permanently banned a star American player who prosecutors say forged birth documents to qualify to play in the domestic competition.Womens Korean Basketball League will also permanently remove the career statistics of Chelsey Lee, who played a major role in helping KEB Hana Banks run to the playoffs in the 2015-16 season, league spokesman Kim Ilku said on Wednesday.The league also said it would annul the teams records for the season and scrap the rule allowing teams to sign extra foreign players if they have a Korean parent or grandparent.The Miami-born Lee won the leagues rookie of the year honor for 2015-16 after averaging 15.2 points and 10.4 rebounds for KEB Hana Bank, which entered the playoffs with the second-best regular-season record and lost to Woori Bank in three games in the best-of-five finals.Lee later signed with the Washington Mystics in the WNBA but was waived shortly later. She has not returned to South Korea.South Korean prosecutors said last month they concluded that Lee used fake documents to fraudulently claim a South Korean heritage before signing with KEB Hana Bank. They said the man listed as Lees father doesnt exist and the daughter of a dead South Korean woman listed in the papers as Lees grandmother confirmed she didnt have other children.The league had originally planned to await a court ruling before determining the punishments for Lee and her former team. Kim said the leagues board members decided to proceed faster, because they were confident about the prosecutions investigation results.The Ministry of Justice asked prosecutors to investigate Lees documents after the Korean Olympic Committee in April pushed for Lees naturalization so she could represent South Korea in international events.WKBL teams can each have two foreign players who face limitations in playing minutes in each game. And previously, teams also were able to sign up to two extra foreign players if they had a parent or grandparent who was a South Korean national.
