BEIJING Nike Air Max 2018 Womens Australia , Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese sports authorities have vowed to stamp out corruption and match-fixing amid a massive anti-corruption drive in the country.

In the feedback, the GAS detailed measures it will take to correct problems identified during the inspection.


"Athlete recruitment and referee appointments will be conducted under open and transparent supervision", in order to prevent corruption and match-fixing, said the statement.

Measures will also be taken to punish illegal practices with severity and transparency www.airmax2018australia.net , said the GASC.


"The GASC will join hands with judicial departments to fight against various kinds of illegal practices in sport," added the statement.

"The parcipating teams will no longer be ranked by the medals they win at the National Games in the future", in a bid to avoid the blind pursuit of medals Cheap Nike Air Max 2018 Australia , said the statment.x "The performance of the sports administration will be assessed on multiple criteria, including public participation in sports and cost efficiency of public sports investments."

But the hosting rights over the National Games, games bearing national interests, and special games Nike Air Max 2018 Shoes Australia , still need approval from the GASC.
