View Full Version : NEWS : Malaysian shuttler had tested positive for doping yannie 01-19-2007, 11:28 AM www.badzine.info (http://www.badzine.info) Newsflash: DOPING - Malaysian Media unveil possible positive test of player kwun 01-19-2007, 11:31 AM Malay Mail. DOPE SHOCKER! by RIZAL HASHIM MALAYSIAN badminton has been rocked with the shocking news a shuttler had tested positive for a banned substance in a recent tournament in Europe. It’s all hush-hush in the domestic fraternity but Mailsport learnt the B portion of the player’s urine sample is being re-tested. It is probably the first positive test involving a badminton player. The shuttler is not among those participating in the ongoing Malaysian Open at the KLBA Stadium. The player, who quit the BA of Malaysia (BAM) stable a few years ago, is ranked in the world’s top 20. He is currently attached full-time with a club. Besides winning a Grand Prix title, he also reached the last eight of a few other tournaments last year. BA of Malaysia (BAM) and Badminton World Federation (BWF) officials are keeping mum since the testing process is supposed to remain confidential in accordance with the procedures in the World Anti-Doping Code. When an athlete provides a urine sample, he or she divides it into A and B portions. The two bottles are sealed in the presence of the athlete, and a strict chain of protocol is followed to transport the samples to a lab. The A portion is tested, and if a positive finding is made, it is retested for confirmation. The retest is usually done by a different technician and on a different and generally more sophisticated instrument to rule out human error. If the A test is confirmed positive, the B portion of the sample is also tested. The result of the B sample is considered the final result, and it almost always confirms the result of the A sample. If the B sample is negative, however, the positive A result is thrown out. If the test confirms the result, the ramifications are plenty for the shuttler. It could spell the end of his career for under international rules, a two-year suspension is mandatory. He, however, is allowed the opportunity to exhaust all avenues to prove his innocence. While it could well be the first case involving a badminton player, athletes from football, athletics, weightlifting, sepak takraw and bodybuilding have had their fair share of doping offences in recent times. rudy6713 01-19-2007, 11:35 AM is that WCH????? bad_fanatic 01-19-2007, 11:36 AM Wow this is pretty big news. But not really the first. Sigit was tested positive back in 1998. Maybe the first for Malaysia. kwun 01-19-2007, 11:37 AM The shuttler is not among those participating in the ongoing Malaysian Open at the KLBA Stadium. The player, who quit the BA of Malaysia (BAM) stable a few years ago, is ranked in the world’s top 20. He is currently attached full-time with a club. Besides winning a Grand Prix title, he also reached the last eight of a few other tournaments last year. he might as well just give out the name! and also, the info is not quite correctly. Sigit was banned for doping in the late 90's. i think in 1998. yannie 01-19-2007, 11:44 AM There's quite a number of Malaysian players ranked in the top 20. bad_fanatic 01-19-2007, 11:46 AM is that WCH????? Can't be WCH, he isn't rank in the top 20. In the top 20 the Malaysian players are, Lee Chong Wei (2), Hafiz Hashim (10), Sairul Ayob (13), Roslin Hashim (16) and Lee Tseung Seng (20). lurker 01-19-2007, 12:20 PM Can't be WCH, he isn't rank in the top 20. In the top 20 the Malaysian players are, Lee Chong Wei (2), Hafiz Hashim (10), Sairul Ayob (13), Roslin Hashim (16) and Lee Tseung Seng (20). and among those, he is the one "The shuttler is not among those participating in the ongoing Malaysian Open at the KLBA Stadium." yannie 01-19-2007, 12:23 PM he might as well just give out the name! Yup! He won the recent Dutch Open 2006 :p Actually my friends saw him in the hall yesterday.. cooler 01-19-2007, 12:32 PM MEN'S SINGLES ASA, MAS (winner) vs Wy Yun Yong,CHN:D wedgewenis 01-19-2007, 12:33 PM So he gets Caught and doesn't even have to face the shame of having his name released? wtf is this? lurker 01-19-2007, 12:35 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Dutch_Open_(badminton) madbad 01-19-2007, 12:50 PM Sometimes these things are dramatized beyond what they really by the media. The banned substance list is very long and ranges from the "hard" performance enhancing drugs to marijuana to substances found in flu medicine. We have no idea what aubstance was found in the player's urine sample. For all we know he might have been suffering from flu and took some medication for relief. Maybe we should reserve judgement until everything is on the table. On the other hand, if he was dumb enough to have smoked weed, which would have been counteractive his performance, he deserves it, if only for sheer stupidity. One other thing. Unfortunately once a person has been implied in such cases, he name and reputation are pretty much shot, innocent or not. P.S. I think Cooler got the player correct. cooler 01-19-2007, 01:49 PM Sometimes these things are dramatized beyond what they really by the media.

I think Cooler got the player correct. yes, some 'off the shelf pain or cold medicine' can contain some ban substances that the player didn't know about. kwun 01-19-2007, 02:33 PM yes, some 'off the shelf pain or cold medicine' can contain some ban substances that the player didn't know about. it is true that this happens. but it is also the responsibility of the player to make sure that they know what they are taking before taking it. otherwise everyone will go and take these drugs, gets the benefit, and then claim that they don't know. also, it doesn't help the player's cause when his normal achievement is at most quarterfinals for the whole year and suddenly he wins a star tournament and got tested positive. bad_fanatic 01-19-2007, 03:27 PM Wow, suffering from a Flu and still winning a major tournament! I remember when Chen Hong had to face Lin Dan in the finals at the Japan Open, he couldn't even finish the second game. Well I just hope that these kind of news doesn't hurt the Badminton Image. kwun 01-19-2007, 03:52 PM Wow, suffering from a Flu and still winning a major tournament! am i supposed to be reading between the lines there? ;) I remember when Chen Hong had to face Lin Dan in the finals at the Japan Open, he couldn't even finish the second game. Well I just hope that these kind of news doesn't hurt the Badminton Image. i don't think so. the said player is not very famous and the said tournament won is not a major tournament. if someone really famous had won the WC, Olympics and subsequently tested positive for drugs, then the impact will be much worse. FEND. 01-19-2007, 04:20 PM Awww poor dutchies, your tournament is not regarded that highly. On the other hand, if he cheated on purpose he's really taken the phrase 'If you aren't cheating you aren't trying' to heart. kwun 01-19-2007, 04:29 PM Awww poor dutchies, your tournament is not regarded that highly. On the other hand, if he cheated on purpose he's really taken the phrase 'If you aren't cheating you aren't trying' to heart. well, don't get me wrong, it is a big tournament, but the fact that many of the top players didn't participate made it less signifcant. bad_fanatic 01-19-2007, 04:48 PM am i supposed to be reading between the lines there? ;) i don't think so. the said player is not very famous and the said tournament won is not a major tournament. if someone really famous had won the WC, Olympics and subsequently tested positive for drugs, then the impact will be much worse. I think you've already read inbetween the lines. I get what you're saying about how it's different from a famous player using drugs and winning a major tournament like WC or the Olympic. It's like using drugs and winning the Tour de France right? ;) Simp84 01-19-2007, 05:23 PM may I know when tested positive for doping, what do u mean by doping? Is it steroid? Morphine? If they meant steroid, then I dont see anyone who is potentially on steroid (at least not that Mr.X they mentioned in the article).. it is evident that none of the players size and build suggest that they are raging on steroids... if tested on morphine... perhaps its taken as analgesic?? which is completely legal if prescribed by a doctor... so... that article is very vague.. probably a media stunt.... kwun 01-19-2007, 05:42 PM this list of "banned substance" is quite extensive. i guess positive detection of any substance in the list is considered a violation for doping. for those interested, here is the prohibited list: September 16, 2006 The World Anti-Doping Code THE 2007 PROHIBITED LIST INTERNATIONAL STANDARD The official text of the Prohibited List shall be maintained by WADA and shall be published in English and French. In the event of any conflict between the English and French versions, the English version shall prevail. This List shall come into effect on 1 January 2007 The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 2 THE 2007 PROHIBITED LIST WORLD ANTI-DOPING CODE Valid 1 January 2007 The use of any drug should be limited to medically justified indications SUBSTANCES AND METHODS PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES (IN- AND OUT-OF-COMPETITION) PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES S1. ANABOLIC AGENTS Anabolic agents are prohibited. 1. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) a. Exogenous* AAS, including: 1-androstendiol (5α-androst-1-ene-3β,17β-diol ); 1-androstendione (5α- androst-1-ene-3,17-dione); bolandiol (19-norandrostenediol); bolasterone; boldenone; boldione (androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione); calusterone; clostebol; danazol (17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxyandrost-4-eno[2,3-d]isoxazole); dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (4-chloro-17β-hydroxy-17α-methylandrosta- 1,4-dien-3-one); desoxymethyltestosterone (17α-methyl-5α-androst-2-en- 17β-ol); drostanolone; ethylestrenol (19-nor-17α-pregn-4-en-17-ol); fluoxymesterone; formebolone; furazabol (17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-5α- androstano[2,3-c]-furazan); gestrinone; 4-hydroxytestosterone (4,17β- dihydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one); mestanolone; mesterolone; metenolone; methandienone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one); methandriol; methasterone (2α, 17α-dimethyl-5α-androstane-3-one-17β-ol); methyldienolone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylestra-4,9-dien-3-one); methyl-1- testosterone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-5α-androst-1-en-3-one); methylnortestosterone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylestr-4-en-3-one); methyltrienolone (17β-hydroxy-17α-methylestra-4,9,11-trien-3-one); methyltestosterone; mibolerone; nandrolone; 19-norandrostenedione (estr-4-ene-3,17-dione); norboletone; norclostebol; norethandrolone; oxabolone; oxandrolone; oxymesterone; oxymetholone; prostanozol ([3,2-c]pyrazole-5α-etioallocholane-17β-tetrahydropyranol); quinbolone; stanozolol; stenbolone; 1-testosterone (17β-hydroxy-5α-androst-1-en-3- The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 3 one); tetrahydrogestrinone (18a-homo-pregna-4,9,11-trien-17β-ol-3-one); trenbolone and other substances with a similar chemical structure or similar biological effect(s). b. Endogenous** AAS: androstenediol (androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol); androstenedione (androst-4-ene- 3,17-dione); dihydrotestosterone (17β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-3-one) ; prasterone (dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA); testosterone and the following metabolites and isomers: 5α-androstane-3α,17α-diol; 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol; 5α-androstane- 3β,17α-diol; 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol; androst-4-ene-3α,17α-diol; androst-4-ene-3α,17β-diol; androst-4-ene-3β,17α-diol; androst-5-ene- 3α,17α-diol; androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol; androst-5-ene-3β,17α-diol; 4-androstenediol (androst-4-ene-3β,17β-diol); 5-androstenedione (androst-5- ene-3,17-dione); epi-dihydrotestosterone; 3α-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17- one; 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one; 19-norandrosterone; 19- noretiocholanolone. Where an anabolic androgenic steroid is capable of being produced endogenously, a Sample will be deemed to contain such Prohibited Substance where the concentration of such Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers and/or any other relevant ratio(s) in the Athlete’s Sample so deviates from the range of values normally found in humans that it is unlikely to be consistent with normal endogenous production. A Sample shall not be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance in any such case where an Athlete proves that the concentration of the Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers and/or the relevant ratio(s) in the Athlete’s Sample is attributable to a physiological or pathological condition. In all cases, and at any concentration, the Athlete’s sample will be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance and the laboratory will report an Adverse Analytical Finding if, based on any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS), the laboratory can show that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin. In such case, no further investigation is necessary. If a value in the range of levels normally found in humans is reported and the reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not determined the exogenous origin of the substance, but if there are indications, such as a comparison to endogenous reference steroid profiles, of a possible Use of a Prohibited Substance, further investigation shall be conducted by the relevant Anti-Doping Organization by reviewing the results of any previous test(s) or by conducting subsequent test(s), in order to determine whether the result is due to a physiological or pathological condition, or has occurred as a consequence of the exogenous origin of a Prohibited Substance. The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 4 When a laboratory has reported a T/E ratio greater than four (4) to one (1) and any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) applied has not determined the exogenous origin of the substance, further investigation may be conducted by a review of previous tests or by conducting subsequent test(s), in order to determine whether the result is due to a physiological or pathological condition, or has occurred as a consequence of the exogenous origin of a Prohibited Substance. If a laboratory reports, using an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS), that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin, no further investigation is necessary and the Sample will be deemed to contain such Prohibited Substance. When an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not been applied and a minimum of three previous test results are not available, a longitudinal profile of the Athlete shall be established by performing a minimum of three no advance notice tests in a period of three months by the relevant Anti-Doping Organization. If the longitudinal profile of the Athlete established by the subsequent tests is not physiologically normal, the result shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding. In extremely rare individual cases, boldenone of endogenous origin can be consistently found at very low nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) levels in urine. When such a very low concentration of boldenone is reported by a laboratory and the application of any reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not determined the exogenous origin of the substance, further investigation may be conducted by subsequent tests. When an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not been applied, a longitudinal profile of the athlete shall be established by performing a minimum of three no advance notice tests in a period of three months by the relevant Anti-Doping Organization. If the longitudinal profile of the Athlete established by the subsequent tests is not physiologically normal, the result shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding. For 19-norandrosterone, an Adverse Analytical Finding reported by a laboratory is considered to be scientific and valid proof of exogenous origin of the Prohibited Substance. In such case, no further investigation is necessary. Should an Athlete fail to cooperate in the investigations, the Athlete’s Sample shall be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance. 2. Other Anabolic Agents, including but not limited to: Clenbuterol, tibolone, zeranol, zilpaterol. For purposes of this section: * “exogenous” refers to a substance which is not ordinarily capable of being produced by the body naturally. ** “endogenous” refers to a substance which is capable of being produced by the body naturally. The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 5 S2. HORMONES AND RELATED SUBSTANCES The following substances, including other substances with a similar chemical structure or similar biological effect(s), and their releasing factors, are prohibited: 1. Erythropoietin (EPO); 2. Growth Hormone (hGH), Insulin-like Growth Factors (e.g. IGF-1), Mechano Growth Factors (MGFs); 3. Gonadotrophins (LH, hCG), prohibited in males only; 4. Insulin; 5. Corticotrophins. Unless the Athlete can demonstrate that the concentration was due to a physiological or pathological condition, a Sample will be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance (as listed above) where the concentration of the Prohibited Substance or its metabolites and/or relevant ratios or markers in the Athlete’s Sample so exceeds the range of values normally found in humans that it is unlikely to be consistent with normal endogenous production. If a laboratory reports, using a reliable analytical method, that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin, the Sample will be deemed to contain a Prohibited Substance and shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding. The presence of other substances with a similar chemical structure or similar biological effect(s), diagnostic marker(s) or releasing factors of a hormone listed above or of any other finding which indicate(s) that the substance detected is of exogenous origin, will be deemed to reflect the use of a Prohibited Substance and shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding. S3. BETA-2 AGONISTS All beta-2 agonists including their D- and L-isomers are prohibited. As an exception, formoterol, salbutamol, salmeterol and terbutaline when administered by inhalation, require an abbreviated Therapeutic Use Exemption. Despite the granting of any form of Therapeutic Use Exemption, a concentration of salbutamol (free plus glucuronide) greater than 1000 ng/mL will be considered an Adverse Analytical Finding unless the Athlete proves that the abnormal result was the consequence of the therapeutic use of inhaled salbutamol. The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 6 S4. AGENTS WITH ANTI-ESTROGENIC ACTIVITY The following classes of anti-estrogenic substances are prohibited: 1. Aromatase inhibitors including, but not limited to, anastrozole, letrozole, aminoglutethimide, exemestane, formestane, testolactone. 2. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) including, but not limited to, raloxifene, tamoxifen, toremifene. 3. Other anti-estrogenic substances including, but not limited to, clomiphene, cyclofenil, fulvestrant. S5. DIURETICS AND OTHER MASKING AGENTS Masking agents are prohibited. They include: Diuretics*, epitestosterone, probenecid, alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g. finasteride, dutasteride), plasma expanders (e.g. albumin, dextran, hydroxyethyl starch) and other substances with similar biological effect(s). Diuretics include: acetazolamide, amiloride, bumetanide, canrenone, chlorthalidone, etacrynic acid, furosemide, indapamide, metolazone, spironolactone, thiazides (e.g. bendroflumethiazide, chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide), triamterene, and other substances with a similar chemical structure or similar biological effect(s) (except for drosperinone, which is not prohibited). * A Therapeutic Use Exemption is not valid if an Athlete’s urine contains a diuretic in association with threshold or sub-threshold levels of a Prohibited Substance(s). The Prohibited List 2007 September 16, 2006 7 PROHIBITED METHODS M1. ENHANCEMENT OF OXYGEN TRANSFER The following are prohibited: 1. Blood doping, including the use of autologous, homologous or heterologous blood or red blood cell products of any origin. 2. Artificially enhancing the uptake, transport or delivery of oxygen, including but not limited to perfluorochemicals, efaproxiral (RSR13) and modified haemoglobin products (e.g. haemoglobin-based blood substitutes, microencapsulated haemoglobin products). M2. CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL MANIPULATION 1. Tampering, or attempting to tamper, in order to alter the integrity and validity of Samples collected during Doping Controls is prohibited. These include but are not limited to catheterisation, urine substitution and/or alteration. 2. Intravenous infusions are prohibited, except as a legitimate medical treatment. M3. GENE DOPING The non-therapeutic use of cells, genes, genetic elements, or of the modulation of gene expression, having the capacity to enhance athletic performance, is prohibited.

Is it steroid? Morphine? If they meant steroid, then I dont see anyone who is potentially on steroid (at least not that Mr.X they mentioned in the article).. it is evident that none of the players size and build suggest that they are raging on steroids... if tested on morphine... perhaps its taken as analgesic?? which is completely legal if prescribed by a doctor... so... that article is very vague.. probably a media stunt.... These days, steroids are so sophisticated that they are "designed" for specific functions. You're probably referring to the steroids that provides muscle bulk. There are specific steroids that allow the athelete to sustain their energy levels longer or elevate their endurance. So the build of a badminton player is not a necessarily a good judge of whether a player is taking performance enhancing drugs. Simone_olivelli 01-24-2007, 02:59 AM DOPE SHOCKER! by RIZAL HASHIM MALAYSIAN badminton has been rocked with the shocking news a shuttler had tested positive for a banned substance in a recent tournament in Europe. It’s all hush-hush in the domestic fraternity but Mailsport learnt the B portion of the player’s urine sample is being re-tested. It is probably the first positive test involving a badminton player. The shuttler is not among those participating in the ongoing Malaysian Open at the KLBA Stadium. The player, who quit the BA of Malaysia (BAM) stable a few years ago, is ranked in the world’s top 20. He is currently attached full-time with a club. Besides winning a Grand Prix title, he also reached the last eight of a few other tournaments last year. BA of Malaysia (BAM) and Badminton World Federation (BWF) officials are keeping mum since the testing process is supposed to remain confidential in accordance with the procedures in the World Anti-Doping Code. When an athlete provides a urine sample, he or she divides it into A and B portions. The two bottles are sealed in the presence of the athlete, and a strict chain of protocol is followed to transport the samples to a lab. The A portion is tested, and if a positive finding is made, it is retested for confirmation. The retest is usually done by a different technician and on a different and generally more sophisticated instrument to rule out human error. If the A test is confirmed positive, the B portion of the sample is also tested. The result of the B sample is considered the final result, and it almost always confirms the result of the A sample. If the B sample is negative, however, the positive A result is thrown out. If the test confirms the result, the ramifications are plenty for the shuttler.
