At 4 p.m. on January 10, Beijing time, according to the CCTV news official announcement, 63-year-old Chinese volleyball boss Li Quanqiang was investigated on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law, and is undergoing disciplinary review by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission in the State General Administration of Sports and the supervision and investigation of the Yangzhou Municipal Supervision Commission of Jiangsu Province.
Li Quanqiang is definitely a big figure in the women's volleyball team, and he has made contributions to the Chinese women's volleyball team, but he didn't expect to violate discipline and law, which is very disappointing. Born in 1962, Li Quanqiang is also one of the most senior players in the Chinese volleyball industry, serving as the leader of the men's and women's volleyball teams from 1999 to 2001, the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team from 2001 to 2004, and the director and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Volleyball Sports Management Center since 2017. It is worth mentioning that during the 2003 Women's Volleyball World Cup, Li Quanqiang served as the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the head coach at that time was Chen Zhonghe, and the coaches included Lai Yawen and Zhang Wenyi.
Li Quanqiang used to be a person who tried his best to seek development for Chinese volleyball, but he didn't expect to go astray, which made people sigh. In 2004, when the Chinese women's volleyball team won the Olympic championship again after 20 years, investors even filmed the TV series "National Hand" with the women's volleyball team as the main body, and the Chinese women's ranking Zhao Ruirui was rumored to have participated in the filming.
After Li Quanqiang found out, he publicly said, "I don't want any member of the women's volleyball team to shoot any TV series, a sports team should be aimed at results, and I don't want them to do anything that will distract the players." Resolutely oppose athletes getting involved in the entertainment industry, even if someone privately contacts Zhao Ruirui to hope that she will participate in the filming, they will oppose her doing so. In short, first of all, I don't know anything about it, and I won't agree to it if I do." It can be seen that Li Quanqiang was already an out-and-out decision-maker of the women's volleyball team at that time, and after Lang Ping led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the Rio Olympics in 2016, the movie "Winning the Championship" with the theme of the women's volleyball team became completely popular, and Li Quanqiang was also one of the volleyball project managers at that time. Now, Li Quanqiang has officially fallen from power, and he is also the first heavyweight women's volleyball official to be taken away for investigation since the anti-corruption campaign in Chinese sports.
