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.

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

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

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

I particularly liked the Korean excuse 'well, the Chinese started it'

Any game that involves half a ball with feathers stuck to it is dodgy anyway

Yes, this is the crucial factor that nobody seems to want to mention. Wd.

Wtf, Mack, my fat finger hit the 'd' instead of the neighbour 's' and all of a sudden I'm modd..?
