London, Sept 6 : Chinese football team has come under fire after some of its players were reportedly snapped checking into the hotel with girls during the Olympics.

The scandal came into light after three players were photographed by fans with a group of girls at a hotel outside of the official training camp.

According to an eyewitness, the players were seen "hugging and embracing" the women , a night before they lost to Brazil 3-0.

"I did not think about it too much at the time, but after watching the game the next day and seeing how terribly they played, I knew they were up to no good the night before!" the Telegraph quoted a witness, as saying.

The players said to have violated team rules by leaving their accommodations and booking a hotel room on their own.
