No money back, it seems. The London Games will not be offering refunds to fans who attended badminton games on Tuesday that included athletes accused of throwing a matchfor more favorable matchups in the next round. Paul Deighton of the London organizing committee says the folks who were there also had tickets for another game in the session. "You get into all sorts of strange precedents if you give refunds to people who aren't happy with what they see," Deighton says. "You get into gray, very dangerous territory." — 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.
