The Acting President of the Asian Football Confederation has said that corruption is threatening to destroy the game. Zhang Jilong was speaking at the start of the two-day seminar on match fixing in Kuala Lumpur. Yesterday, China's football association has banned 33 players and officials for life after a three-year probe into match fixing. The Shanghai Shenhua club was also fined 160,000 dollars and stripped of its 2003 league victory for fixing a match on its way to the title. Shanghai Shenhua was found guilty of offering bribes to officials to secure it a 4-1 victory against Shanxi Guoli.
