More than 20 officials, players and club managers, including Wei’s and Yu’s predecessors, Nan Yong and Yang Yimin, have been arrested or detained over the past two months in a clampdown on gambling and match-fixing.
The CFA has long been slammed for its lack of effort in dealing with problems in the Chinese league.
