The term "judicial intervention" has finally appeared
in relevant regulations of the China Football Association (CFA).
The recently released "Regulations on the Management of Players
of China Football Association" clearly provides, in Article
41 of Chapter 7 that footballers violating State laws shall be handed
over to the State's judicial organization and punished according
to law.
The Regulations provides that, with regard to athletes breaking
the regulation, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of CFA
or related clubs may give them the following penalties according
to the seriousness of their cases: criticism and education, deduction
of one to three monthly wages (only applied to divisions A and B),
suspending their participation in a number of matches or for a certain
period of time, disqualifying them from contests for over one year
or even for their whole lives, and those violating State laws shall
be transferred to judicial departments. The last Article was newly
revised and substantiated.
