Hulk in hot water as Shanghai saga stirs up emotions

SHANGHAI - Hulk was hauled before the Chinese Football Association (CFA) on Wednesday as the fallout from an eight-match ban handed to Shanghai SIPG teammate Oscar rumbles on.

SIPG manager Andre Villas-Boas traveled with the Brazilian striker to CFA headquarters in Beijing and another Shanghai player, Wu Lei, was also present, a club representative told AFP.

Hulk, who has scored nine goals in the Chinese Super League this season, and China international Wu wore T-shirts in support of the banned Oscar after SIPG beat Henan Jianye 4-1 last weekend.
