    LOL! 8 badminton players DQ'ed for deliberately wanting to lose

    I think what made the IOC disqualify them was that these coupled played eachother so the matches became a farse. One team not giving a toss and losing happens all the time - hell, Arsenal have done it several times when we've already been through as winners of our CL group. But losing on purpose in order to get a preferred semi final opponent apparently is not kosher.

    Playing a weakened team is not the same as trying to lose

    And playing a full strength team is not the same as trying to win.

    I still think it's dodgy. Playing a weakened team means

    you're not trying your best, which again means that you're influencing on which other team will go through, in a negative way.

    It is still completely different and nothing like what has happened with the badminton

    ' these coupled played eachother so the matches became a farse'.

    Bit unfair on the later teams imo, as the Chinamen started it..
