China’s foreign ministry has supported claims made in the China Daily newspaper that the United States is encouraging and bribing athletes to compete “passively” and conduct acts of “sabotage” at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The allegations were refuted by the U.S. embassy in China and were ridiculed on Chinese social media.
