Olympic female badminton players face charges for intentionally trying to suck

Both teams wanted to loose because winning it offered nothing to them (in fact id did the opposite), the officials were warned (By current players) that this could happen when this new system came in (before it was knockout).
As much as the guilty parties deserve punishment, this is a tactic employed in every sport over the world (Football for example). Also the officials should get some of the blame, given they ignored the warnings.
So from what I understood. They both are already through to the next stage and the winner of this goes on to be against what is sounding like a tougher team in the knockout stages?
Can't blame the players for a screwed up way of organising things.
