One of the players involved in the 'Great Brawl of China' with Queen's Park Rangers has run into more disciplinary trouble.
The Chinese Olympic team were involved in a spectacular mass fight during a 'friendly' against QPR this February.
Seven China players were sent home after violence erupted, with punches and kung-fu kicks exchanged between the opposing teams.
Now Dai Lin, who played in that match, has been suspended for posing a "lewd question" to an army officer during a military-style boot camp.
The 19-year-old and team-mate Jiang Chen asked the officer whether he had ever slept with a prostitute and now the pair face an indefinite spell on the sidelines.
The boot camp was held for both Olympic and national team players in the country's north-eastern Hebei province for the purpose of "educating the players on thoughts and behaviour."
The players were trained to stand to attention, march, run in formation and salute.
The Olympic team has been dogged by disciplinary problems. Shandong Luneng's Lu Zheng was booted off the team in July for almost coming to blows with an assistant coach, and Cui Peng was suspended for playing computer games all night during last year's Asian Games in Doha.
