WOs due to injuries etc. are not cheating. Fixed matches is. And I think innocent until proven guilty applies. Just as with Taufiks statement of a contract of "match fixing" between him and Gade to stop China from taking 3-spots in MS i n the olympic games. I would like to give Taufik the benefit of doubt before calling him a cheater. An injured player that Walks Over will get not ranking points so it will hurt that player and team, regardless of country of origin.
Who said that injured players who gives WO will not get the ranking points??? If one player WO...he or she does get the ranking points and money.....
Not any points for the WO:ed match.. and of course no further points after the WO in that tournament either..
Oh, under which BWF rule? But they still get money, right? You saw Spore Open? Both CJ and LD got big cheques?
