I think it's in the best interest in the sport, especially when on a visible and international level, to boot these competitors out. As a potential fan, I'd be embarrassed to watch this and would be turned off from the sport had this been allowed. I'd be even more pissed if I paid good money to go see this event.

This is not in the spirit of competition and allowing this type of match-throwing is a middle finger to the fans and the integrity of the sport, even if they think they are being strategic.
