On 5 May 2010, Ling Cong was questioned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption over match fixing. He missed the club's training but team official said he pulled a muscle.[2] On 7 May, Ling Cong said he was questioned for information but he was not arrested and he had nothing to do with the case. It was a mistake for the media to report that he was arrested and he worried about his future in Hong Kong football.[3]
