SOUTH Korea's sports minister took a swipe at the London Olympics over alleged cases of biased refereeing, vowing to step up Seoul's influence with international sports organizations.
"I express heartfelt gratitude to the athletes who did their best and overcame all difficulties despite unfair refereeing," Choe Kwang-shik said. "The government will make strong efforts in order to expand influence in international sports," he said. Seoul will start working on "measures aimed to strengthen its position as the world's fifth largest sports powerhouse".
Local media made a fuss about biased judging that allegedly happened in women's epee semifinal, men's 66kg judo quarterfinal and men's 400m freestyle swimming heat.
