Lee hearing starts in Amsterdam
Print Edition
MALAYSIAN ace Lee Chong Wei’s long-awaited doping hearing opened before a three-member Badminton World Federation panel yesterday in Amsterdam, a BWF official said, where the former world No. 1 has vowed to clear his name.
“The hearing is starting” at a hotel near Schiphol International Airport, said the official, who declined to be named.
Lee’s London-based lawyer Mike Morgan refused to comment before Lee’s hearing opened behind closed doors.
The BWF also declined to comment.
However, the official said no verdict was expected yesterday, as the panel needed several days to reach a finding.
Last month two-time Olympic silver medalist Lee told the Malaysian-based Star newspaper he hoped the hearing would clear his name and allow him to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games.
Lee, 32, tested positive for the banned anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone at last year’s world championships in Copenhagen, where he lost to China’s Chen Long in the final.
