CHINA-MILITARY WORLD GAMES: MEMBERS OF CHINESE TEAM EXPELLED FOR CHEATING

The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) announced on October 25 that a Chinese team has been kicked out of its own Military World Games after other countries alerted judges to "extensive cheating" by the hosts. It said originally the Chinese athletes had taken the first, second and fourth places in the women's middle-distance orienteering competition, as well as second place in the men's, during the race on October 20. 

(Comment:  The Military World Games are held every four years. The inaugural competition was held in Rome in 1995 and this is China's first time hosting the event in Wuhan. The Games will end on October 30.)
