this is the news :

Rising star Bodin will quit sport

Rising star Bodin Issara is quitting badminton due to injury and personal reasons, officials confirmed yesterday.
Bodin Issara

Ranked eighth in the world, along with his partner Maneepong Jongjit, in the men's doubles, Bodin has told the Badminton Association of Thailand that he wants to quit playing, according to BAT secretary-general Surasak Songworakulpan.
"He has informed me that he will retire," Surasak said.
The 22-year-old has been nursing a knee injury since December, which forced him to withdraw from this year's Korean Open and Malaysian Open.
The player also wants to look after his mother in Uttaradit, he said.
Maneepong will now play with Nipitphon Puangpuapech in Indonesia next week.
Last year, Bodin and Maneepong won the men's doubles title at the Indian Open by upsetting second seeds Sung Hyun Ko and Yeon Seong Yoo of South Korea in the final.
The win sent them to the 2012 Olympics, where they reached the quarter-finals.

That's really a sad news indeed..A talent wasted.. wish him the best in his life after this...

[Albert_K]

It seems true as seen on Thailand papers.
He probably needs a long pause from any knee hurting activities.

He loves badminton for sure, and want more of it.

I wonder if there is a much better way for his knee treatment.

[Albert_K]

Oh... just read a thread on Bodin leaving... with a news source from this link: http://www.sportclassic.in.th/%E0%B8...%81-%E0%B9%81/

It reads Bodin was not happy with the Badminton Association of Thailand, and have a new buddy. How come!


Have to wait and see.

[machao]

You're right. I'm Thai. Bodin has problem with BAT and decide to leave from the athlete of BAT like Boonsak Ponsana. I guess that Maneepong might leave from BAT following Bodin

[Justin L]

Such a pity, Bodin still young and talented. Hope BAT take this as a wake-up call and do something effective and concrete to address the root of the problem if it is true that a number of Thai players are unhappy with the association.

Thailand is such a promising and rising badminton powerhouse-to-be. Keep it up.Way to go!

[eaglehelang]

So young already retire!!? Or going independent after recover from injury

[machao]

He is going independent athlete from now on. Also, finding and practicing with his new partner. Now, He traines at a same place as Boonsak Ponsana as my friends saw them at the court. They told me that his smashes' sound are very loud.

[Jagdpanther]

Wait, so which news is true? He quit badminton for good? Or just going independent?

And what is the true reason? Injury? Personal life? Or conflict with BAT?

[suetyan]

such a pity, this pair did very well last year. They are Thai's future hope.

[shosasakigamba]

So for clarity then he has quit BAT not the sport.
whats the status of his injury?
Is it a ligament injury to the knee?
Issara and Jongjit really are a classy pair brought a lot of colour to the mens doubles at the OG. I see them as future KKK, TBH style partnership, but hopefully with more success.

[machao]

According to latest mews in Thailand, Bodin decide to go independently and paring with Pakawat Vilailak. To summarize, Bodin had problems with BAT and staffs because they spilt him from Maneepong. Read the full news in the following link (Use google translate)
