I don't think this is because of politics though. People naturally tend to think Japanese are the best at Judo. And since the judging is pretty subjective and the referees are humans too, I don't think you can say it is real corruption.

There is no conspiracy, every body knows it. Theres always been biases in sports with relative ambiguity involved whether its in the scoring process or minor rulings with major impacts . Not like its going to change now and it doesnt really bother anyone unless they are on the but end of it. Denying it outright though is just naive.
And please controversy in sport has nothing to do with UFO's or Ghosts or whatever. What im suggesting is a fact everyone knows for a while now, and something that everyones just learnt to deal with. Its not like its just the British who are guilty of it either, the chinese were guilty of quite a few dubious instances on their turf aswell. Thats just how it works. Not all sports are like that ofcourse but where ever the possibility has existed it has happened.
Im sorry if your world would come crashing down if the integrity of the olympics would fall to pieces (which really isnt the case tbh) should these things be true. Its not necessarily blatant corruption its just bias, its wrong and it happens. Doesnt bother me, shouldnt bother you. But dont deny it lol.

It just boils down to a difference of opinion. I believe the judges have used their best judgement to protect the integrity of the Olympic games and you don't, there's no fact involved at all just conspiracy. I'll leave it at that as there's no resolving a difference of opinion.

I agree 100% that it isn't corruption. Just an heavy biais which is present in most sports as long as there are non objective decisions included. The biais toward japanese judoka is exactly the same as the biais towards host country athletes: something which exist and that you've to deal with it.

So you believe that allowing a cyclist to crash intentionally to restart the race protects the integrity of the sport ?
Point taken.

haha why are you cheering for China? :D yayay
Most people cheer either for their home country or by default against China ._.
I do hope they can win the most golds by the end, but it will be close, if not a US win.

The danish trainer was pretty clear in his comments (roughly translated): "The brits should have been disqualified. I stood down there and saw it: it was a rowing error, he simply fell out of his seat." Further: "So the brits hurry up and take off the seat... I am cycling right behind the british trainer and he is swearing... Then the trainer (red: British) loosened the seat. There are some small holders of which he screws out one to make it look like something is wrong." Because the danish boat won the race they did not keep the promise to the french of making a protest together... source (In danish) T.T french official protest has been refused, they've apparently a second chance. not sure if they'll take it since it's obvious what's going to happen. you gonna to get burn down buddy On the contrary if an investigation ensues and it comes to light there has been fowl play I and I imagine most Brits would side with the decisions of the judges. Just wish other nations on this board would trust the judges decisions more, they put a heck of a lot more time into deciding these things then we do. If you honestly believe that at this point after so much evidence (although at this point a case could be made that its circumstantial) to the contrary then your either deceiving yourself or just painfully naive. Could it just be, possibly that the quality of the officiating is not up to par after all the nonsense that has gone down from Shin, to the Japanese boxer to the badminton to now rowing and god knows what else that might have been missed ? Can you not even allow for that possibility ? Theres politics involved and to a large extent this event has become a dick measuring contest. Ofcourse there will be controversy. Quite honestly I'm not the conspiracy theory type. I don't believe in UFO's I don't believe in ghosts and I don't believe the USA blew up their own twin towers. What your suggesting jeopardises the entire integrity of the Olympic games and if it were true I'm not even sure I would be watching it right now. There is no conspiracy, every body knows it. Theres always been biases in sports with relative ambiguity involved whether its in the scoring process or the . Not like its going to change now and it doesnt really bother anyone unless they are on the but end of it. And please controversy in sport has nothing to do with UFO's or Ghosts or whatever. What im suggesting is a fact everyone knows for a while now, and something that everyones just learnt to deal with. Its not like its just the British who are guilty of it either, the chinese were guilty of quite a few dubious instances on their turf aswell. Thats just how it works. Not all sports are like that ofcourse but where ever the possibility has existed it has happened. It just boils down to a difference of opinion. I believe the judges have used their best judgement to protect the integrity of the Olympic games and you don't, there's no fact involved at all just conspiracy. I'll leave it at that as there's no resolving a difference of opinion. So you believe that allowing a cyclist to crash intentionally to restart the race protects the integrity of the sport ? Point taken. If it's within the rules yes? I feel we are just going round in circles here... I'm out. Yeah your right cant argue with people naive fanboys in denial. No wonder its going in circles.
People wanted an end to this discussion which I agree with but calling people fanboys isnt needed. They didnt break any rules, something you would know if you either watched all of the qualifying or knew the rules.
