KUALA LUMPUR (AP) ― Badminton’s top-ranked player Lee Chong Wei has failed a doping test, a senior Malaysian sports official said Saturday.
Lee, who has been temporarily suspended pending a hearing by the Badminton World Federation doping panel, faces a potential two-year ban from competition.
Lee insisted he had “never cheated.” Badminton Association of Malaysia deputy chairman Mohamad Norza Zakaria confirmed Saturday that a test carried out on Nov. 5 in Oslo, Norway, on the “B” sample of an unnamed player had backed up the positive finding of the “A” sample from a doping control at this year’s World Championships in August.
