Chinese football has banned 43 people for life over alleged gambling and match-fixing, including three former China internationals and South Korean player Son Jun-ho, state news agency Xinhua said. Beijing has in recent years deepened a crackdown on corruption in Chinese sports, especially football, and jailed several top officials. The 43 were among 128 people implicated in total in a two-year probe into illegal gambling and match-fixing in the domestic game, China’s public security ministry said.
