Rakuten Monkeys outfielder Qiu Dan was involved in a drunk driving accident on June 10, resulting in the team terminating his contract the next day, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy. The accident occurred on the highway where Qiu crashed into a guardrail with a red SUV, prompting the police to report with Qiu found to be over the legal limit. This incident highlights the team's strict stance against such behavior to prevent reoccurrence, drawing parallels to past cases involving drunk driving by CPBL players like Guo Fulin and Yang Jiawei. Qiu, a key player for Rakuten Monkeys, had only played four games this season before being sent to the minor leagues due to defensive issues.
