From guardian.co.uk:
China has launched a crackdown on match-fixing and corruption in football with the arrests of more than 20 sports officials, including the president and two coaches of a team owned by Sheffield United.
Zhang Weizhe, the coach of its Hong Kong-based offshoot, and two other men linked to the Yorkshire club are suspected of buying promotion, bribing referees and using club funds for private business.
The three men were arrested in a crackdown on one of the world’s most scandal-plagued leagues after China’s president, Hu Jintao, called for a clean-up.
