King Kong sent home

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AFP): Malaysia's Asian Games soccer team is to send home defender Chong King Kong to be questioned over the country's growing match-fixing scandal.

Prince Abdullah Ahmad Shah, team leader and Malaysian Football Association vice-president, confirmed that Chong would leave Hiroshima on Friday.

Malaysian police had planned to wait until after the tournament to question the Penang player about payments to throw matches. "There is no point having this player around. He is wanted by the police," said the prince, who highlighted the damage that could be caused to team morale.
