Despite all the controversy surrounding Mike Tyson, his energy drink, and his appearance on Law & Order, we hear that he's a pretty happy guy who is proud to be a father!

He even says that he's in his prime — which would make sense, because he's still wildly successful for a convicted rapist. Here's what he said about it:

Of alllllll the Olympic sports out there, the one we'd think would have the smallest chance of having a controversy would be harmless little badminton.

That's not the case.

Eight female badminton players are to be EXPELLED from the games for trying to lose matches to receive a more favorable draw.

They were found guilty of "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport."

Lame!

Apparently this has become a problem since they switched to qualifying rounds instead of just elimination rounds.

Why are people always looking for a way to cheat??

Check out the press conference (above)!

UPDATE: It would appear that it's official now. NBC tweeted that the International Olympic Committee has officially "laid the smack down" (our words; not theirs) and expelled eight badminton players from the Olympics!

The IOC confirms the expulsion of eight badminton players from China, Indonesia & S. Korea for allegedly throwing matches.

This was an inneresting controversy.

Jodi Jaecks is a breast-cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy to prevent any recurrence of cancer.

She never had reconstructive surgery so her torso is now the same as any man's.

Yet she still wasn't allowed to swim topless at a public pool, even though a full body swimsuit would cause her pain because of her still healing chest.

The parks department finally allowed her to swim after several articles were published about her struggle.

Check out the video (above) to hear her story in her own words.
