http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/10/21/Khairy-not-revealing-name-of-athlete/ Oops, Mr Epic already posted the same article. But other media already revealed the name ya, just waiting on sample B results. It's rare sample B test negative, but somehow Sairol Ayob's case was like that.
IMHO, and a very personal opinion, other players also have shown increase in bulk. But it will go off topic and I think it would be unfair to mention names.
You're right, it's three times. In that case they're damn lucky to escape with KBA taking the blame and slammed with a fine in their stead.
Arena badminton tanah air akhirnya dipalit detik hitam selepas Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) mengesahkan salah seorang pemain utama negara gagal dalam ujian doping yang dilakukan secara rawak di Kejohanan Dunia Copenhagen, Ogos lalu ........namun difahamkan pemain lelaki itu memenangi banyak kejohanan di pentas antarabangsa serta turut mewakili negara di Incheon dan menyumbang pingat. http://www.hmetro.com.my/node/3213 Main pt : BAM confirmed it's male player, during WC 2014. The player also represented Msia during Asian Games and won a medal. Earlier news stated it's not gold medalist but badminton didnt win any gold, or silver for that matter. AND :Bagaimanapun beliau tidak dapat mengesahkan siapa atlet berkenaan sehingga keputusan sampel B diketahui pada 16 November ini. http://www.sinarharian.com.my/sukan/kj-sahkan-ikon-sukan-gagal-ujian-doping-1.326352 Sports Minister said results of sample B will be out 16 Nov. The player will be going to observe the testing of sample B as it is the his right.
What happens if it turned out TBH? . He participated the WC and Asian Games, he also won some tournaments in the past, not "a string of tournament", but possible. Why would it take LCW 16 days to request for B sample test? IMHO, if he is the one, he will need to act quicker.
BTW, pure LCW when this news is broadcasting without naming who is the person in question and everyone are looking at him, forgetting that today is his birthday... What a birthday. Happy birthday Lee Chong Wei!
B sample was taken the same time as Sample A, what they meant by 16 nov is the testing i also wonder why, wait so long for them to test the sample ?
Hey, someone mentioned that the B sample has been tested, so please can you tell the results? Cite some sources for the information?
Perhaps the real reason for delay may be that they use more sophisticated tests to confirm and to look for secondary substances. Or maybe sports tests may have to wait their turn in the labs --maybe lower priority to lab staff than medical and criminal sample testing.
Ok, TV news tonight also named LCW as the one. It's called as 'low level drug normally administered during player rehabilitation', not steroids or performance enhancing drug. What's a low level drug??
I don't think it would be difficult. I am a big fan of cycling and followed the Tour de France for the last 15 years. It is unbeleivable how the doping went deep in that sport, with the authorities not being able to do anything. We know what happens to Lance Armstrong - who was caught by other means then drug-testing. I would not be surpised at all to learn that doping would also run deep into badminton, especially among the strong national teams, and very especially among national teams of communist countries (now who would that be?) as it is a tradition for the sport associations of those nations.
“Atlet berkenaan mahu melihat sendiri sampel air kencing tersebut dibuka ketika ujian semula itu dijalankan di sebuah institusi di Norway. “Atlet itu sudah memohon untuk melakukan ujian semula dan masih menunggu jawapan daripada persekutuan antarabangsa sukan berkenaan. “Saya juga difahamkan bahawa atlet itu mahu lihat sendiri sampel itu dibuka kerana mengikut peraturan Agensi Anti Doping Dunia (Wada) wakil atau atlet itu boleh melihat sendiri ujian itu dilakukan,” katanya. melakukan siasatan rapi berkenaan rawatan dan perubatan yang diberikan kepada atlet terbabit. “Kita juga mendapatkan pandangan pakar doping dan pakar perubatan untuk memastikan bahawa tiada bahan yang tidak dibenarkan diguna pakai dalam rawatan tersebut,” katanya. http://www.sinarharian.com.my/sukan/gagal-doping-atlet-diberi-peluang-ujian-kedua-1.326352 Must wait for answer from BWF before observing the opening & testing? If sample B fail, means heads will roll from medical team. "conduct thorough investigation on treatment and medication given to the atlhete" "We will obtain opinion from doping experts and medical personel to ensure no banned substance were used in the treatment(of the atlhete)"
One example in the recent drug scandal of cycling is the use of fresh blood. After a day of intense competition, the competitor get a transfusion of his own blood, taken a week before. Not easy to detect but very usefull to get better for the second day. It is forbidden but many use this method. Nowadays they also use micro-doping, using very low dose of drug (below the detection limit) for a long period. There is also drugs used during the training and you stop two weeks before the competition. No trace then in your urine. There are actually many, many ways.
Actually there are some years on the Tour where the authorities do not know they should give the title to who because they found out, retro-actively, that all the top cyclists were doped. Disgusting!
