The Vietnam Football Federation has asked the organizing board of the Golden Ball Awards 2008 to reconsider its grant of the award to Duong Hong Son.

Because of this scandal, the goalkeeper was suspended for two matches and fined VND 10 million (US $580). Three related players, namely Xuan Tu, Ngoc Quan, and Dai Dong, had to pay fines of VND 1 million each.
