Yang Jian, a commentator for China's state  broadcaster CC TV, was almost in tears when Liu Xiang hit the first barrier in  his 110 metres hurdles heat at London 2012. 'This is the worst outcome I have  thought of,' he said. 'If an athlete does not have a good leg, it's like a  soldier without a gun.' All very poetic. The problem, according to Chinese  newspaper the Oriental Guardian, is that it was scripted. The broadcaster knew  Liu was carrying an injury and had prepared four scripts - including a 'crying'  version. They say sport is theatre but duping your audience is not part of the  act.
