It's all gone Pete Tong in the Womens Badminton Doubles. Lots of pairs have already qualified for the knock-out stages, so they're deliberately trying to lose their last pool game to get an easier draw.
In fact, they're having to try really hard to lose, as it's what both sides are trying to do!
First it was the Chinese and the Korean pairs, and now apparently it's another Korean pair and an Indonesian pair. The latter of which have got black carded, but apparently are still playing!
Wonder if the Chinese and first Korean pair will retrospectively get banned?
Wang and Yu are usually able to serve the shuttle over the net!
Check out Game 4 on BBC's coverage: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/p00w2y9b
It's embarrassing just how blatant it is!
