You really can't say that unless they actually do so. Many of the Asian teams are under serious pressure from their governments to bring home medals (especially after the Beijing Games), and would do anything to bring home as many medals as possible.

It's not just China either, they also tossed competitors from South Korea and Indonesia. Were any non-Asian countries tossed after the investigation? Nope, the Chinese team caused all this because they didn't want to face each other in the semi-finals, but wanted a chance for them to both have guaranteed spots in the gold medal match.
