Chief Operating Officer Thomas Lund, of the Badminton World Federation, speaks during a news conference announcing the elimination of eight female badminton doubles players at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012, in London. The Badminton World Federation announced its ruling after investigating two teams from South Korea and one each from China and Indonesia. It punished them for "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.
