Posted: Aug 1, 2012 8:50 AM by Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - Indonesia's Olympic team leader says eight female badminton doubles players have been disqualified from the London Games after trying to lose matches to receive a more favorable place in the field.
Erick Thohir tells The Associated Press on Wednesday that the Indonesian team will appeal.
The Badminton World Federation investigated two teams from South Korea and one each from China and Indonesia. It accused them of "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport" in matches Tuesday night.
