BEIJING (Reuters) - China's top graft-busting body rapped the sports ministry again on Wednesday for not taking the country's sweeping campaign against corruption seriously enough, summoning in 17 ministry discipline officials to discuss the problem.

Corruption in international sport is in focus due to U.S. and Swiss probes into football's world governing body FIFA, as well as doping scandals that have rocked tennis and athletics.
