BREAKING NEWS: Players disqualified from Olympics for losing
Eight female badminton doubles players were disqualified from the London Olympics for the accuse of trying to lose their respective matches to receive a more easier or say favorable matches in place in the advance round in tournament.
The Badminton World Federation announced that two teams from South Korea and one each from China and Indonesia are disqualified for “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”.
However, Do you think these types of decision make sense? They haven't cheated, and no rule in the rule book can called them offended players; they just lost their matches; Matches were not fixed - this can be one point of view.
My view is, this was embarrassing for game. If players will try to mold the game per them, then THEY ARE NOT DOING JUSTICE TO GAME.
What are your views on the latest shameful incidence?

Smeechi MittalThe case is really a new one, atleast for me 😛
Though I really wonder that knowing the abilities of the team, is it justified to disqualify them for not playing good?
I mean,Playing 'not so good' to receive an easy match in advanced rounds... For me, it's not cheating, I would rather call it a strategy! -
Harshad ItaliyaThat's weird decession. What's wrong with jury?

Anil JainPer rules and games committee, game should be played in the spirit of game, Players are not allowed to play the game to loose. So they were accused of two charges:
- Playing the game in a manner that is abusive or detrimental to the sport
- Intentionally, not playing to best of their ability

inderjeetReally wanted this to be true....but the indian doubles women team is not advancing further as the teams disqualified were not from the same group as the indian team. Hard luck for us.😔
