Lifetime ban seem cruel already all for bribing.
Life ban on match fixing is not cruel and is the way to go in sports if actually we want the integrity of sports general because if the authorities don't take serious measure s to mitigate and cut down on the excess of both players and official on and off the pitch sports sporting events will loss that excitement and value that it offers so this move is the right move in the right direction for the Chinese league and is the right way to go about it and fifa and other world sporting bodies should take a leave from this and implement it by baning offender's with a life time band
When the penalty is not severe, people will not be afraid to default. As you mentioned, a life ban is the only penalty that can preserve sports integrity. How would it sound to the football community if a player, coach, or other sports official is discovered to be involved in a match fixing and is given a light punishment? Many football officials will begin to see match fixing as a very lucrative and safe business on the grounds that even if they are caught, the consequences are not harsh.
