Recently, the Chinese Chess Association announced that Yan Moumou, the champion of the 2023 National Folk Chess Championship, had excreted in the bathtub, which attracted a lot of attention.
At 13 o'clock on December 28, Yan Chenglong, the party who was canceled for excreting in the hotel bathtub, issued a solemn statement with his newly registered Weibo account, saying that someone maliciously created rumors of cheating in.
He claimed that this was an extremely private incident, as long as the hotel waiter cleaned up the bathtub with a good service concept, not to mention that he also compensated the hotel 100 yuan, but his privacy was leaked, and there were ill-intentioned rumors that he "cheated on", which seriously violated his right to privacy and reputation.
The statement also mentioned that the 105,000 yuan prize was a reward for his decades of studying chess, and that the chess association violated the procedures, disregarded the facts, and did not respect the fruits of his labor, and made a wrong punishment, which not only violated his privacy and reputation rights, but also violated his property rights.
After his Weibo was issued, Jiupai News contacted Yan Chenglong. He said that he did not accept the punishment of the Chinese Chess Association, and did not receive feedback on the appeal, so he could only file a lawsuit and would sue to the end, "If I don't sue, they won't give me money, the bonus is 105,000 yuan, and if they give me a bonus, I won't say anything." ”

[1] Explanation: A hotel room is a private place for guests
Yan Chenglong explained in the statement that he was too late to excrete in the bathtub because of the water and soil adaptation (because he was still four or five meters away from the toilet, and he didn't want to dirty the floor, after all, the bathtub can be flushed with water), and said that it was because the hotel's bathtub was old, the drainage was extremely slow, and it could not be rinsed quickly and completely, and because he urgently needed to catch the 5 o'clock shuttle bus that had been waiting for guests to the airport, he failed to contact the hotel room attendant in time to clean up, and later negotiated with the hotel to compensate 100 yuan to the hotel.
He mentioned in the statement that the hotel room has become the private place of the guest of the room after the guest has checked in, and the hotel room is cleaned every day, which is a matter of duty.
The statement said that as a guest, in the hotel due to food and water is not adapted, gastrointestinal discomfort caused by diarrhea, as long as there is a little medical knowledge, you know that this is a sick state, in an emergency in the bathtub is helpless, and the bathtub is not damaged, and the bathtub is a private property of the hotel, not the so-called public property.
He said that because it did not happen in a public place, but in the room where he was staying, it was an extremely hidden private space, and the waiter could clean it up after doing his job, so there was no violation of public order and good customs at all, but this was the patient's personal privacy, which should be protected by law and respected.
Yan Chenglong told Jiupai News that he did not cheat, but just soiled the room and cleaned it. "The hotel is a private space, you can do whatever you want to live in the hotel, and I didn't gamble or do illegal things in the hotel, this is my room." ”
Previously, on the evening of the 26th, Yan Chenglong said in an interview with China News Weekly that he would publicly apologize to the whole society.
He said that he tried to clean the bathtub after soiling it, but because he was in a hurry to catch the shuttle bus to the airport, he did not communicate with the hotel staff about cleaning it in time. "I admit that this behavior is extremely inappropriate, and it has also aroused the attention and discussion of the whole society and the whole network in the future, which is a blow to the reputation of Chinese chess. Hereby, I would like to publicly apologize to the whole society. ”
[2] Accusation: It was published in a WeChat group by the event staff, violating the right to privacy
In a statement released on the 28th, Yan Chenglong sued the Chess Association.
On the one hand, he believes that this is personal privacy, but because the staff of the event organizer made the matter public in the WeChat group, the situation spread, violating his right to privacy and reputation.
In addition, he believes that in the absence of a whistleblower and no administrative filing, the punishment notice of the Chess Association contains words such as "cheating cannot be proven", which is really inappropriate, which has further aggravated online public opinion and seriously affected his reputation.
On the other hand, he said that on the afternoon of December 21, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and office staff of the Chess and Card Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China came to the Henan Provincial Sports Bureau to take notes. After that, he did not receive an official penalty notice from the Chess Association, and did not learn about the punishment from the Internet until the 26th.
Yan Chenglong claimed that he did not violate any of the disciplinary guidelines issued in 2020 during the tournament, and that the punishment imposed by the chess team was inconsistent with the facts, had no basis in law, and violated his privacy, reputation, and property rights.
When asked by Jiupai News if there was any progress in the appeal, Yan Chenglong said that the appeal was useless, "Do you tell him that he will listen to you? They can't bow to me, they can only fight a lawsuit, and I will definitely sue to the end." ”
In addition, Yan Chenglong also said that he would investigate the legal responsibility of the bloggers who spread rumors about "cheating".
