Chinese soccer faces anti-graft storm as top official falls

Another important figure of Chinese soccer has been brought down, according to a statement from the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection on Tuesday night, as the anti-corruption storm of Chinese soccer keeps deepening. This time it was Chen Xuyuan, president of Chinese Football Association (CFA), who was put under investigation on suspicion of serious violations of law and discipline. On the same day, China Fortune Land Development Co said that its co-president Meng Jing had been detained. Meng is a former board member of the Hebei Football Club.
