Cai Jiadong, secretary general of the Chinese Asian Games delegation, said that Wang Dalei, who blasted at Chinese fans with expletives-filled entries on his microblog, has been "suspended and ordered to meditate on his action."

Cai didn't say how many games the 21-year-old goalkeeper would be barred from.

Wang didn't start in the ongoing Group A game between China and Kyrgyzstan.
