Malaysia calls up Lee for worlds
Print Edition
Double Olympic silver medalist Lee Chong Wei will take part at the world championships this year after Badminton Association of Malaysia controversially selected him yesterday at the expense of better-ranked Chong Wei Feng.
Lee’s world ranking has fallen to 46th after an eight-month ban for doping at last year’s championships, leaving him as the third-ranked Malaysian behind Chong (31st) and Zulfadli Zulkiffli (41), who were due the country’s two slots at the tournament.
Lee, 32, failed in a bid to get a wildcard for the August 10-16 event in Jakarta but BAM officials selected him anyway after an impressive return to action on Sunday in victory over South Korea at the Sudirman Cup in Dongguan, China.
