Hope I don't offend anyone on how I spelled Japanese or Chinese.
The Japanese are taking notes from China.

Operating within the rules and regulations of gymnastics, a Japanese coach handed over a wad of $100 bills to the governing body of the sport on Monday night in order to file an appeal on behalf of his athlete.
Kohei Uchimura awkwardly stumbled off the pommel horse in the final event of the men's team competition. His resulting score left Japan in fourth place. But team officials protested that his fall had actually been a dismount and should have earned points based on gymnastic's (confusing) scoring system.
International rules dictate that an appeal fee must be paid in order to file a protest. Japanese officials quickly rounded up a number of large bills and sent a coach, armed with cash and the proper forms, to appeal.

Carrying around 25,000 yen would get kind of cumbersome.

At least the Japanese are open about their payoffs.

Japan hasn't cheated since they bombed Pearl Harbor an hour before declaring war on the U.S.
OK, maybe they did.
Screw 'em.
