Lin dan on purpose walk over the game... I disappointed that Fu haifeng /cai yun again lost to Lee yong dae . /JS... I hope both of them stop using kason racket.. Fu haifeng , please use back your N50 II, its affecting your performance..
LD withdrawal/walkover was expected after JOJ withdrew. LD was there to make sure that the CO MS title stay in china. he is no longer interested in SS title anymore but he is a teamplayer and will help his team mates when needed.
even the lower rank MAS pair like Mak/Tan can beat the KOR 2nd pair, why MAS no.1 pair Koo/Tan can't...?!
and they need to play 10 next year compulsory with 8 ss,wc then team event no worry lah many people doesnt aware that ko/yoo ranked higher than lee/jung now wonder if people feel better when they notice about this?

Paper tigers are only good for show. Toothless tigers also do not bite. Rules and by-laws are only good when they are enforced.
China has a reputation of 'managing' their sportsmen in, perhaps, unethical ways. They are not unduly troubled in 'requesting' any of their athletes to withdraw from a game in order to advance the career of another. In this instant LD had just come from a very successful AG campaign and so LYB probably thought it was better for him to 'rest' and give young CL a chance to feature in a final. It has happened before in other sports in which China dominates - most notably table tennis - and it will probably happen again.
off topic: ..the new rule of "group play", for MD, in the next OG (2012) will have essentially the max. amount of matches as the Singles events (which have a max. of 6 matches) if a pair/player wants to be crowned as champion. Or creating R64 but only fielding 16 pairs. Since, in the past, the MD event starts at R16, the new format of the MD will add 2 additional matches. The only other difference is that 2 pairs/players will get a chance to advance to the "real" knock-out rounds.
BWF must take action and tell the fans why he gave a walk over. There must be a good valid reason for doing so; so that this precedent doesn't happen again. If LD can act, so be it. At least he tried.
