K-League bans 10 players over fixing

SOUTH Korea's football association has handed down lifetime bans to 10 players charged over alleged involvement in a match-fixing scandal.

The K-League made the announcement in a statement late on Friday after holding a meeting of its disciplinary committee. The league said that the bans were its highest level of punishment. Among those banned for life was Kim Dong-hyun of military club Sangju Sangmu, who has made six appearances for the South Korean national team. The players allegedly accepted money from illegal gamblers to help their teams to lose games. Eight of the banned players come from the same team, Daejeon Citizen.
