Currently, our country places great emphasis on the three major ball sports. Overall, volleyball is the best-developed among them! After all, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won Olympic gold medals. The worst is undoubtedly football, especially men's football, with very few appearances in the Olympics. Therefore, when multiple bigwigs in Chinese football were implicated in scandals, people didn't find it surprising! However, what was unexpected is that there were also bigwigs implicated in Chinese volleyball!
Recently, according to official announcements, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is under investigation for serious violations. Obviously, Li Quanqiang is a big termite in the Chinese women's volleyball team and also a big termite in the Chinese sports world! Eliminating these big termites has made netizens cheer and rejoice!
The previous Chinese football world saw a series of corruption cases! Including the Chinese Football Association (CFA) Chairman Chen Xuyuan, Vice-Chairman Du Zhaocai, Secretary-General Liu Yong, and Disciplinary Committee Director Wang Xiaoping, more than ten executives were involved. Now, it's the turn of Chinese volleyball! Will there be a series of corruption cases?
Public information shows that Li Quanqiang is already 63 years old and has been retired for two and a half years! He can be considered a bigwig in Chinese volleyball. He once served as the leader of both the Chinese men's and women's volleyball teams. From 2006 to 2017, Li Quanqiang served as the deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport. Relying on the Chinese women's volleyball team's victory at the Rio Olympics, Li Quanqiang was promoted to the director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport. He stepped down in 2022 and was later succeeded by Lai Yawen.
In fact, when Li Quanqiang managed Chinese volleyball early on, everyone was quite optimistic about him! He was very conscientious and responsible. When investors approached Li Quanqiang, hoping that the Chinese women's volleyball team would cooperate in filming a movie, Li Quanqiang did not agree at the time. He believed that a professional team should aim for results. Nothing that distracts the athletes' attention should be allowed. He firmly opposed athletes entering the entertainment industry. It can be seen that Li Quanqiang had special feelings for volleyball at that time!
After the Chinese women's volleyball team won the Rio Olympics, Li Quanqiang agreed to the filming of the movie "Leap." It cannot be ruled out that Li Quanqiang had undergone some changes at this point. So then we found out that during the Tokyo Olympics cycle, Zhu Ting was exhausted! Her injuries also missed the best treatment period. And when the Chinese women's volleyball team embarrassingly exited the Tokyo Olympics and Lang Ping resigned as head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Volleyball Management Center did not make any statements. Honestly speaking, Lang Ping is a great contributor to the Chinese women's volleyball team, and her departure should have been marked with an official farewell from the Volleyball Management Center. At that time, fans were puzzled. After many years, the truth has been revealed! This should be Li Quanqiang's dissatisfaction with Lang Ping's failure to achieve good results while leading the team.
What kind of punishment will Li Quanqiang ultimately receive? Let's continue to pay attention!
