High-profile former soccer stars arrested

Ex-players alleged to have accepted 8 million yuan to fix game in 2003

Former Chinese national team players Jiang Jin, Shen Si, Qi Hong and Li Ming were reportedly arrested by police on Friday for accepting bribes in a first-division match in 2003.

According to Chinese paper Today Morning Express, the four are alleged to have accepted a total of 8 million yuan ($1.26 million) for fixing the result of a last-round game between Shanghai International and Tianjin Teda in 2003. International was expected to claim the league title with a win, but lost to Tianjin, 2-1, which saved Teda from relegation.
