Matten op de badmintonmat

Jij het nieuws, wij een tikkie!

Fans at the Canada Open 2013 shouted in disbelief when Bodin Issara dropped his racket mid-match and chased Maneepong Jongjit into the neighbouring court, throwing haymakers onto his former playing partner until coaches and tournament staff pulled the two apart.

A stunned Jongjit rose from the floor shirtless while a fuming Issara was cornered by others.

A video of the spat was being shared rapidly on Facebook and YouTube by Sunday evening.

Both the players teams were immediately disqualified and Issara required two stitches to his ear, according to tournament medical staff. Badminton Canada has yet to decide if the two who fought will be further penalized.
