Badminton Players Charged With "Not Giving Their Best Efforts"
First topic message reminder :

This makes a mockery of the athletes oath, given during the opening ceremony, to at all times give of their best.
In my opinion, these players should be charged by the IOC with bringing the Olympic Movement into disrepute and if found guilty, disqualified.

Of course i agree there is a difference. Obviously in the Badminton game, they were the "only" team.............
Jennifer, where are the "pacemakers" gone?? Usually one or two, granted not in every race.............

No pacemakers in the Olympics, John. Are you sure you're not thinking of the Grand Prix circuit where pacemakers are frequently used.
I believe the using of pacemakers is outlawed by Olympic Rule 40.
I still think the Keirin is dodgy but obviously, different rules exist for this event. Don't ask me why.
