China University Official Caught in Sweeping Campaign Against Graft in Sports

What’s new: The Communist Party chief of Beijing Sport University (BSU) is under investigation for corruption, the country’s top graft busters said Friday, as China deepens its crackdown on the sports sector.

Cao Weidong, who has been the school’s party secretary for nearly seven years, is suspected of “serious violations of discipline and law” — a common euphemism for corruption, according to a statement from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).
