Shuttlers handed bans for 4 months

INDONESIAN badminton doubles pair Greysia Polii and Meiliana Jauhari have been hit with a four-month ban for their role in a match-throwing scandal at the London Olympics.

The Indonesian pair, along with four players from South Korea and two from China, were kicked out of the Games in August for deliberately trying to lose matches. "After studying and listening to all sides, the sanction will be applied from the date of the incident until December 3," PSBI secretary general Yacob Rusdianto said. "With all due respect, we suffer losses but it should be understood that the sanction should be given because they violated rules of fair play."
