Wang Hao, 24-year-old Chinese Olympic silver medalist in table tennis singles, has been ordered to receive counseling after coming to blows with a security guard.
Just prior to Thursday's brawl, Wang emerged drunk from a karaoke club and proceeded to drop trou and empty his bladder on the side of the building.
He was then approached by a club security guard who yelled at him to stop.
According to witness interviews, Wang responded, "I am the famous Wang Hao! I am the world champion! Does it matter if I beat you?"
Wang then proceeded to beat him.
Team manager, Huang Biao attempted to play down the story.
"There was no drunkenness or brawling. There was just an argument," Huang said in yesterday's Shanghai Morning Post.
When interviewed by state television, Wang said that the fight may have contributed to a loss in a normal season game over the weekend.
Wang said, "It taught me that I have to be very careful about anything I say or do."
