Losing in order to win, but still losing in the end

Have you ever gotten an outdoor volleyball set, opened it only to discover some weird rackets with a weird feathery ball? That is badmiton. Where do people play badmiton? The Olympics of course, but not baseball. Anyway badmiton olypmic athletes are getting into the new fad of losing as a new strategy to winning. China, Indonesia, and South Korea all tried to lose in order to play an easier team, the problem was everyone knew what they were doing. Consequently there strategy didn't pay off when the Olympic committee watched and they banned them from further competition. Who knew that badmiton could be so controversial?
