Lu Bofei, a member of Suzhou Dongwu FC, has been heavily penalized by the CFA for losing control of the game when advising the referee in a crucial match. During the Round 32 match between Jiangxi Beimen and Suzhou Dongwu, Lu Bofei erupted in a heated verbal attack in the 41st minute, and then continued to insult the referee in the players' tunnel after the match. This scene, coupled with some Suzhou Dongwu fans blocking the referee, threw the match into chaos.
In response to the incident, the CFA quickly responded by imposing a harsh penalty on Lu Bofei:
Lu Bofei was suspended for six games and fined 60,000 RMB.
Suzhou Dongwu Club was criticized as a warning.
This incident not only penalized Lu Bofei personally, but also served as a wake-up call for Suzhou Dongwu FC, reminding all practitioners to uphold the fairness and impartiality of the game.
