Yan Chenglong, a 48-year-old national Xiangqi (Chinese chess) champion, has lost his title and been banned from playing for a year due to inappropriate behavior. The Chinese Xiangqi Association (CXA) took away Yan's title and prize money after he defecated in a hotel bathtub in Hainan, China, during a victory celebration, an act that "damaged hotel property, violated public order and good morals," according to the association.
