Sports centers warned again to guard against graft
Print Edition
CHINA’S top anti-graft agency yesterday followed up its inspections of the country’s elite sports training centers by reiterating a warning against corruption in the run-up to the Rio Olympics.
The Beijing Sport University and the Olympic Training Center were among departments visited by inspectors attached to the sports ministry, the ruling Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement on its website.
While the units had made some improvements to their attitudes to moral codes and discipline, the CCDI said, inspectors had found problems with their understanding of the rules and a lack of timely efforts to address these issues.
It called for the units to encourage a frugal atmosphere for the approaching Dragon Boat Festival, keep a lookout for corruption risks and vulnerabilities, and to improve supervision in order to create a positive environment for the Rio Olympics.
The inspections came after the CCDI had criticized the sports ministry in May for not taking the campaign against corruption seriously enough.
China, which is aggressively seeking to stamp out graft in Party and government ranks, has also sought to remove corruption from its sports establishment, particularly within soccer, which has been hit by several match-fixing scandals.
Chinese athletes won the most gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and came second to the United States four years later at the London Olympics.
