Soccer bosses under probe in corruption crackdown

Chinese soccer has been rocked again with top officials of the sport's ruling body under investigation amid the nationwide clampdown on gambling and match fixing.

Nan Yong, vice-president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) was taken for questioning on Friday night, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said yesterday.

Yang Yimin, another CFA vice-president, and Zhang Jianqiang, the women's soccer chief who was also in charge of referee arrangements, were also taken to the police station.
