Olympic games corruption?

Question

does anybody know how much the Chinese paid the boxing judges to make sure their boxers win just watched 1 boxing with ken egan and he was getting points for more or less just swinging in the general direction of ken egan

Answer 1

It isn't corrupt.

Olympic boxing judges are just bad.

Answer 2

Just by coincidence, China has been dominating in sports that are judged rather than won outright.  Gymnastics, Boxing, Diving, Wrestling, etc.  http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing...

Here is one of many articles that support your thesis about the boxers.

Answer 3

Definitely.  Why do they let NBA professional players in the tournament, to compete against amateur no-names.

Answer 4

Bad boxing judging has been part of boxing since it was invented. The olympics keep to that tradition

Answer 5

I have no idea who Ken Egan is.  I don't watch olympic boxing any more. (And I was an amateur boxer when I was a kid)

A few years ago a young guy called Jeff Fenech was robbed of any medal by pathetic scoring.  He went on to be one of the most dominant champs of all time.  (Dumb as but a good fighter!)  That did it for me.

But it's not corruption so much as very poor scoring

Answer 6

Honestly the whole olympics have been very corrupt with medals,judges and so on.Maybe they should get judges from countries that are not participating at the olympics at all.

Answer 7

i totally agree and have asked the question as well, just heard his coach say its the judges that need drugs testing. And just seen the bbc show the conversory of the games. I cant believe no one is making a big deal out of this i would be fuming if i was an athlete cheated in the ways that have been happening, and what else i cant believe is all these arrogrant people answering this question believing china deserve these medals!!! I swear kenny hit the chinese guy about 3 times and the tiddley wink got the points!!!
