BWF Provisionally Suspends Lee Chong Wei

Ken je BC Trilan al?

The world-governing body has imposed this suspension due to an Adverse Analytical Finding of a sample taken at the BWF World Championships in August. The BWF has referred the matter to the BWF Doping Hearing Panel and, in due course, the Chair of the Panel will set the time, date and location of a hearing. The Panel will determine whether or not the athlete has committed an anti-doping regulation violation.

In accordance with Clause 14.4.1 of the BWF Anti-Doping Regulations, and following the imposition of the provisional suspension, the BWF and the member association - the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) - are now able to publicly identify the player involved in this matter.

The Provisional Suspension (Clause 7.6.2) means the athlete is barred temporarily from participation in any competition prior to the BWF Doping Hearing Panel's decision.

There will be no further comment from the BWF regarding this matter until the BWF Doping Hearing Panel makes its determination.
