World Wrestling Entertainment suspended performer James Yun for 30 days for his first drug violation of the company's drug policy.

Stamford-based WWE spokeswoman Gary Davis declined to say Monday what drugs were involved. Yun wrestles under the name Jimmy Wang Yang.

Company officials said there have been more than 30 suspensions under the WWE substance-abuse and drug-testing policy begun in 2006, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs.

A wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times a year.
