Twenty-seven years ago today, on November 10, 1998 (September 22, 1998 lunar calendar), the FA found that Fan Zhiyi had violated the rules. On November 10, 1998, after almost a week of investigation, the Football Association of England today concluded that Fan Zhiyi, a player from Crystal Palace Club in the first division of English football, had misbehaved and would be punished. "Fan Zhiyi is suspected of pushing the referee with a hand, and the FA finds that he has misbehaved and needs to be punished. Fan Zhiyi has 14 days to appeal." If Fan Zhiyi appeals, the FA will hold a hearing at an appropriate time, where Fan Zhiyi can appeal his views and reasons. Generally speaking, the possibility of changing the FA's conclusion through a hearing is very small. After the hearing, the disciplinary committee will announce the punishment result. Fan Zhiyi will return to China to participate in the Asian Games in the near future, and it is estimated that the specific punishment for him may not be officially announced until after the Asian Games. Among all the regulations of the English FA, the athlete's violation of the referee is the most serious foul, and therefore the heaviest penalty. According to the regulations, the slightest violation of the referee by the athlete is also banned for 180 days, or six months. Of course, there are sometimes some flexible practices depending on the situation when it comes to specific penalties. The final result of the FA's decision on this matter was that Fan Zhiyi was sentenced to five games suspension.
