After the head of the Chinese delegation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, it is the turn of the boss of the Professional Football League to find himself caught in the meshes of justice. Liu Jun, the head of the company that oversees the Chinese Super League, is under investigation for corruption. According to the General Administration of Sport, he is suspected “ significant legal and disciplinary violations.” The press release from the sports authorities does not specify the nature of the allegations.
