This is complete bush! The Badminton Federation should really throw the book at them - could you imagine if you bought a ticket to see that?

As if Sweden hockey team didn't tank a game in the 06 Olympics to get a better opponent. Happens all the time in sports with group rounds. The thing is that the athletes didn't want to go from single elimination to group stages because its happened in the past.
Its nice to see the IOC to have the balls to punish cheating, but they definitely screwed up going to group stages to begin with.
