Olympic female badminton players face charges

The Badminton World Federation has charged eight female Olympic doubles players with "not using one's best efforts to win a match".

Four pairs of players - two from South Korea, one from China and one from Indonesia - could be disciplined.

David Yang, editor of sports news website China Sports Review, told BBC News that he feels sorry for the fans but that he has seen similar incidents in China before.
