Badminton => Asians (from suspicious countries which win too many medals in some people's opinions) => bad girls => "a shame for the Olympic spirit" => disqualified (rightfully)

Cycling => local heroes => good boys => "lost in translation" => "no rule broken" => no further inquiry planned

It's a completely different scenario. The Badminton players were trying to lose, and deliberately played to fail. 

The Cyclists were trying to win, and the actual interview says that his bike was wobbling and unstable, and crashed in order to get his bike sorted out, and play to win. This was confirmed by the officials, otherwise they would have just been disqualified.
