List of individuals, clubs punished by CFA for soccer fraud

BEIJING - The Chinese Football Association (CFA) on Monday announced "disciplinary punishments" on individuals and clubs involved in the match-fixing and gambling scandals which were exposed in 2009.

Thirty-three officials, referees and players have been banned for life from football-related activities, while the other 25 have been handed five-year bans.

Twelve clubs have been fined with points deductions and other penalties.

Last June, eight football officials and players were sentenced to jail in the nationwide crackdown on soccer corruption. Two former soccer heads, Nan Yong and Xie Yalong, were both given sentences of 10 years and six months for taking bribes.
