Chinese chess champion Yan Chenglong stripped of title after defecating in hotel bathtub
Hindustan TimesA national Chinese chess champion was stripped of his title following a major cheating and bad behaviour scandal. China's 48-year-old Yan Chenglong won over dozens of contenders last week to win the title of "Xiangqi King" at a national tournament hosted by the Chinese Xiangqi Association. But his title was revoked and the prize money confiscated after he was "disrupting public order" and displaying “extremely bad character” as his victory celebration ended with him defecating in a hotel bathtub. "Yan consumed alcohol with others in his room on the night of the 17th, and then he defecated in the bathtub of the room he was staying in on the 18th, in an act that damaged hotel property, violated public order and good morals, had a negative impact on the competition and the event of Xiangqi, and was of extremely bad character," the association said in a statement.
