Controversy at the badminton tonight as accusations were levelled at various teams for deliberately losing to get easier draws in the first knockout rounds.

8 Badminton players disqualified from the Olympic competition.
From Paul Kelso, Telegraph reporter on twitter

Paul Kelso ‏@pkelso (https://twitter.com/pkelso) BREAKING: All eight badminton players have been disqualified from the Olympics
Christopher Clarey ‏@christophclarey (https://twitter.com/christophclarey) @paulkelso reporting that all 8 badminton players disqualified. Right move but the fault is also with round robin. Bad system


Seb Coe's comments last night (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19079529)on the situation.

Shocker! Awful for the sport.

The right decision though. Sporting integrity is this summer's byword!

[rondun]

The appeals have been rejected

Well Canada certainly benefited from the controversy. Our women's team are now into the semi-final having won their 1/4 final against Australia yesterday after being brought back. Cool!

Watching the Canada vs Japan semi-final. 1-1. :eek:
