Olympic disqualifications...i dont get it??
So no doubt everyone heard about the badminton players being disqualified for deliberately losing/fixing match results to make their later draws more favourable..
The Japanese womens soccer team(don't laugh, its an actual event) did the exact same thing and weren't disqualified. Am I missing something to the story?

Team GB are guilty of bending the rules after Hindes fell off on purpose after a wheel wobble in the team sprint so he could have the race re started, they went on to win gold.

Re: Olympic disqualifications...i dont get it??
