JAKARTA — 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 for trying to lose matches. Amid farcical scenes, the players served into the net and missed shots in an attempt to gain favorable draws in the knockout stages. The four SK players booted out of the Games were initially given two-year bans which were cut to six months, while coach Sung Han-kook has had a lifetime suspension cut to two years. — Reuters
