Olympics: 8 women charged for throwing badminton matches; China blamed

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

The World Badminton Federation charged eight players with
misconduct on Wednesday after each team in two women's
Olympic doubles encounters tried to throw the matches to
secure a more favourable draw later on.

The pairs have been charged... 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', the federation said in a statement.

Spectators at the Wembley Arena shouted abuse and jeered
at players from China, South Korea and Indonesia when
they deliberately sprayed shots and duffed serves into
the net to concede points in attempts to lose on purpose.

The Chinese Olympic team is now investigating the
incidents, state news agency Xinhua quoted a spokesman as
saying.

South Korea head coach Sung Han-kook said two of his
pairings had attempted to throw their matches against
China's world champion duo and an Indonesian team but
added it was in retaliation against the Chinese team who
instigated the farce.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluM...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<us...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years.
