I'm not sure I would call this cheating, yes it's manipulating the draw but none of them took drugs. For me cheating means taking drugs.

In basketball you foul in purpose to stop the clock, is that cheating?
your moral compass is broken

wow ****** appear to be saints!
coward, say what you want to say :D dont hide behind asterisks
 
cheating is to gain and unfair advantage on the competition... and because they are attempting to influence the draw for their own advantage, it is cheating

I am not condoning cheating but these kinds of things are happening quite common in western focused competitions. Most frequently in football.
 
this facking Olympic is a mess,UK is just not capable of organizing a big event like the Olympics.

Teams blamed the introduction of a round-robin stage rather than a straight knockout tournament as the main cause of the problem. In the round-robin format, losing one game can lead to an easier matchup in the next round.

teams do not lose games on purpose in football... as i said earlier... if you were to compare it, it would be like a soccer team scoring own goals so that they lose and their opponents win... after all the chinese badminton players were deliberately missing and hitting into the net on purpose and out to the side so it lands well away from the lines etc so their opponents score points and they lose..

no western olympic athletes do this... id like you to bring up at least once case where they have

a round robin format means you play every team once...

an top level player will shift down 2 gears when facing a much lesser opponent

have you seen the video??? lol i have.. and there is no way you can say they shifted down 2 gears.. it is so blatantly obvious its not funny.. you will see when you see the footage ...
 
the purposely did not hit the badminton.. they let it hit the floor on purpose... they hit the badminton into the net on purpose, you can tell they did not want it to go over the net.. they hit the ball to the side of the court by at least 1 metre on purpose... this is evident... if the IOC thought otherwise they would not of been banned... they were TANKING to lose on purpose

I am taliking to the iconic incapable. you are welcome to jpin their class
 
Why did they make it look so obvious, should have been more subtle and no on would notice. Good plan, but bad execution. Just make the match close and subtlety miss the crucial points.

If we won, we would still only have one team in the final due to both our teams meeting in semifinal, we tried to change it by losing, but failed to get away with it. F**k it, atleast we tried. So be it, just get on with the rest of the tournament. Just change it back to a knockout draw like it used to be instead of round robin.

8 badminton players disqualified from Olympic doubles

LONDON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Eight badminton players accused of deliberately losing points on Tuesday were disqualified from the Olympic women's doubles event by the Badminton World Federation on Wednesday, a source told Xinhua on Wednesday afternoon.

Top seeds and world champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang from China were among the four pairs expelled over charges of throwing matches to secure an easier draw in next round.

A source with the International Olympic Committee has confirmed the BWF's decision.

Wang and Yu and their South Korean rivals Jung Kyun-Eun and Kim Ha-Na were jeered and booed by the crowd on Tuesday after hitting serves into the net and striking easy shots long or wide.

The umpire and the referee warned the all four players, but the situation didn't change. The Chinese women eventually lost 21-14, 21-11 and as a result they won't meet compatriots until the final.

The farce was repeated in the next women's doubles between South Korea's Ha Jung-Eun and Kim Min-Jung and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii. Both teams were also warned for deliberately trying to lose.

Chinese express mixed feelings over badminton farce
LONDON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Internet users voiced mixed feelings on Wednesday after a Chinese women's pair were accused of deliberately losing an Olympic match for a favorable draw in the knockout stage.

Top seeds and world champions Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang were among the four pairs being investigated by the Badminton World Federation over charges of throwing matches to secure an easier draw in next round.

A source in the BWF told Xinhua minutes ago that the eight players have been disqualified.

"Chinese badminton players should play to their best in whatever situation," commented an Internet user named "Fairplay" on Sina Weibo, one of China's most popular Twitter-like microblogging sites.

Another Weibo post criticized the Chinese pair of "bringing the Chinese traditionally strong game into disgrace."

"If you can win a medal by losing, not by winning, then what is the meaning of sport?" said a Weibo user named GoGoGo.

GoGoGo was quickly accused by detractors of being "unpatriotic".

"Shut up! You unpatriotic, ignorant ...Winning medal is all that matters," said a user named ChinaHeart.

The BWF opened a hearing Wednesday to investigate the doubles players from China, South Korea and Indonesia under its players' code of conduct with "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport" in matches Tuesday night.

International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said Wednesday morning that the IOC would allow badminton's ruling body to deal with the matter by using "their expertise".

Chinese delegation spokesman told Xinhua that the delegation was taking the incident seriously and had ordered its own probe.

China's Wang and Yu and their South Korean opponents Jung Kyun-Eun and Kim Ha-Na were jeered and booed by the crowd Tuesday after hitting serves into the net and striking easy shots long or wide.

The umpire warned them and tournament referee Torsten Berg talked to all four players, but the situation didn't change. The Chinese women eventually lost 21-14, 21-11 and as a result they won't meet compatriots until the final.

The farce was repeated in the next women's doubles between South Korea's Ha Jung-Eun and Kim Min-Jung and Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii. Both teams were also warned for deliberately losing points.

Sympathizers with the Chinese women players are as vocal as criticizers on Internet, lashing at media reports that questioned Chinese players sportsmanship.

Xinhua News Agency's Chinese-language commentary, titled "Deliberately seeking defeat? Where is the Olympic spirit now?", caused an angry outcry on the Internet. One post accused the article of being "unfair and biased".

"Fair? Is there any fairness when Ye Shiwen is being accused of using drugs?" said a user named Guangda321.

The 16-year-old Ye, double swimming gold medalist in London, has been a focus of speculations since she broke a world record in winning her first gold.
