London 2012 Olympics: Australian badminton players forced to stay in bed with food poisoning in Derby Ross Smith, Renuga Veeran and Glenn Warfe were all taken ill, meaning they could not take part in a scheduled Olympics warm-up match against Great Britain. "The doctor came and put them on medication and confirmed the boys had suffered from food poisoning," said Australia's badminton team manager Lasse Bundgaard. They are confined to bed, will miss training today and will hopefully be recovered in time to resume tomorrow. Two female members of the team, Leanne Choo and Victoria Na, were not affected and will practice with the British team. Australia has sent a delegation of 410 athletes to take part in London 2012 - the country's smallest team at a Summer Olympics since the 1992 Games. The nine-day badminton competition begins on July 28.
