Xie's tirade came after FIFA chairman Sepp Blatter last month urged China to
do more to curb gambling, while admitting that it would be difficult to wipe out
the scourge.
"Football is a game and in a game there is gambling and gambling is naturally
cheating but this is a matter for national associations," Blatter said at a
meeting in Tokyo.
"They have to control that but it is difficult the bigger an association is.
Can you imagine it in China with 1.3 billion people."
