The disgraced badminton players who have been dismissed from the Olympics aren't the only ones who could face penalties related to games being dumped to get more favorable matchups in later rounds. Mark Adams says the IOC has asked the Olympic committees of both nations to look into whether other officials, including coaches, should face discipline as well. Two teams from South Korea, one from China and another from Indonesia were disqualified from the competition for trying to lose games. Adams says it is up to the committees to determine if more sanctions are necessary. "We're working together with all of them and just making sure also that it isn't just the athletes being punished," Adams says. —Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://www.twitter.com/APKrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
