The news has revealed that an Olympic champion is suspected of corruption and has been taken away for investigation. Table tennis player Deng Yaping and short track speed skater Wang Meng have been caught up in the controversy, attracting expert opinions and comments online.

 On the evening of August 8th, a wave of significant sports news suddenly emerged online. A yellow V-account with the ID "Liu Kai's Rugby World" broke the news that a significant figure, honored as an Olympic champion and world champion, had been taken away for investigation on suspicion of corruption.

"Also, today a former world champion and Olympic gold medalist was taken away to cooperate with the investigation. If it is finally confirmed, it will be even more significant than Li Tie. Everyone, please don't DM me; I can't say anything before the official announcement."

Upon clicking into "Liu Kai's Rugby World" social account, it was discovered that he has 178,000 followers and is a well-known and authoritative figure in the sports field. He was personally certified as the bronze medalist in rugby at the 15th Asian Games.

His profile also includes many details about his identity, such as being the general consultant for the CCTV Sports Center's rugby project, a guest commentator on CCTV5+/LS/YK, former Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Rugby Association (CRFA), former national rugby team member, and a bronze medalist in the Doha Asian Games and World University Championships.

With so many identities, it makes people more confident that his news has some authenticity. In the comment section, many netizens speculated on possible individuals, with Deng Yaping and Wang Meng being mentioned the most, followed by Zhang Jike, who was involved in a house collapse incident.

Insiders revealed that Wang Meng's circle of friends hasn't been updated, and only her agent has updates elsewhere, leading to suspicions that Wang Meng was taken for investigation.

However, as early as August 5th, Wang Meng's fans appeared to debunk the rumors, stating that Wang Meng appeared at Hangzhou Airport that day, and fans spontaneously went to the airport to pick her up. Wang Meng also participated in commercial activities and TV shows, and there was no indication that she was taken for investigation.

Deng Yaping, who was also nominated many times, posted a video on August 8th of her making preserved plums and cherry tomatoes for her children. Although her face wasn't shown, Deng Yaping's voice was as calm as usual. With fans' support, rumors about Deng Yaping gradually disappeared.

The audience suggested that perhaps Deng Yaping and Wang Meng were just caught up in the controversy, and the actual individuals did not match the news content. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to appear calm in this critical period.

In the comment section, some people had mentioned Zhang Jike's name, suspecting that he was the subject of this news. But this idea was immediately denied by others, even the whistleblower responded with a speechless smiley face. After all, although Zhang Jike may have some scandals, the keyword "corruption" doesn't match him, and he's just an idle person without any official position.

On the evening of August 7th, "Liu Kai's Rugby World" updated the big news again, stating that the Olympic champion taken away for investigation had returned home, and people should stay tuned for further developments. He also remarked that this anti-corruption effort was unprecedented, and neither achievements nor influence would act as a shield. He reminded people that if they saw even more shocking news than Li Tie's case, they shouldn't be surprised.

Additionally, some keen observers in the comment section carefully analyzed that "Liu Kai's Rugby World" emphasized the world champion and Olympic gold medal, suggesting that the world champion might refer to an individual, and the Olympic gold medal might refer to multiple people. Following this logic, some shrewd netizens promptly left comments, mentioning the names Wang Hao, or Xu Xin.
