[QUOTE="texan, post: 1001866, member: 38206"] [B]London 2012 Olympics: China and South Korea under investigation after badminton match descends into farce Chinese top seeds Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang and the South Koreans Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na were booed off after an extraordinary match in which players regularly served into the net or hit wide apparently on purpose. Both pairs had already qualified for the last 16 and their actions appeared to be an attempt to manipulate the final standings in Group A. The reasons for both pairs wishing to do this were unclear but by ultimately losing the match, the Chinese now cannot play their compatriots and second seeds Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei until the final.
