Referee Luong Trung Viet of the Vietnam Football Federation ("VFF") has been suspended pending an investigation into his alleged involvement in match-fixing. Trung Viet is apparently the first of a larger group of VFF referees who will be suspended for match-fixing. Such corruption is not uncommon in the VFF, as it has recently been "plagued with match fixing and several players have been jailed or suspended for their involvement in the scandals."
I guess this is a good reminder to us that no matter how bad the officiating sometimes seems in the NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB, at least those referees/umpires aren't purposefully fixing games.
