After entering 2024, the Chinese sports world also ushered in the first major event, that is, Liu Aijie, the former head of the Rowing Association and the Canoe Association, was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined 2 million yuan.
As we all know, after the arrest of former national football coach Li Tie, it triggered a new round of anti-corruption storm in Chinese sports, which is what the outside world calls the "Li Tie Chen Xuyuan case".
Of course, Liu Aijie, Chen Yingbiao and others were arrested, and it has nothing to do with football, according to the well-known reporter Li Weiao, the reason why Liu Aijie was arrested was that he used the power in his hands to seek benefits for others, and the total amount involved exceeded 23 million yuan, and Liu Aijie collected 9.51 million yuan from the former CCTV commentator Duan Xuan alone.
At the same time that Liu Aijie was arrested, his wife Zhang Xiuyun was also taken away, you know, Zhang Xiuyun has very good results whether it is when she was an athlete or after becoming a coach, but with Zhang Xiuyun and Liu Aijie having an accident at the same time, she is also known as the "female version of Li Tie", as for Duan Xuan, it is inevitable that she will not escape the severe punishment of the law, according to Li Weiao, Duan Xuan's case has been pronounced in the first instance, but the verdict has not yet been made public.
However, the outside world is most concerned about the "Li Tie Chen Xuyuan" case, after all, football is the number one sport, and Chinese football has continued to decline in the past two years, and the national football team is not only difficult to defeat Thailand, Vietnam, these former fish belly teams, but now even the Hong Kong team can't win, so the outside world also hopes that Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai can be resentenced, after all, Chinese football continues to refresh the lower limit, and it has a lot to do with them.
You must know that when summarizing Chinese football in 2023, "Football News" once revealed the amount of money involved in Du Zhaocai's case, in addition to a number of properties, Du Zhaocai's amount involved in the case reached more than 4,000 yuan, in view of the sentence of Liu Aijie, the "first sentence in sports" this year, Du Zhaocai is very likely to break the Chinese sports prison record.
It is worth noting that Chen Xuyuan, as an iconic figure in the anti-corruption in the sports world, must also be indispensable in the amount of money he was involved in, after all, after Chen Xuyuan was prosecuted, in his official announcement, Chen Xuyuan not only had problems in the Football Association, he did a lot of illegal things during his stay in Hong Kong, so the next thing waiting for Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and others will be to sit through the prison......
