Chong Wei digantung lapan bulan, penggantungan berakhir 30 April - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, 27 April (Bernama) -- Jaguh badminton negara Datuk Lee Chong Wei dikenakan hukuman penggantungan selama lapan bulan berhubung kesalahan kes doping oleh Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) berkuatkuasa 30 Ogos 2014.

Mengikut Panel Pendengaran Doping BWF, tempoh penggantungan tersebut akan berakhir 30 April ini dan bekas pemain nombor satu dunia itu layak bermain semula pada 1 Mei ini.

Keputusan BWF itu diumumkan oleh Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin di pejabatnya di sini Isnin.

Hadir sama pada pengumuman itu ialah Chong Wei dan Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria.

Berikut keputusan BWF itu, Chong Wei layak bertanding dalam tiga kejohanan utama iaitu Piala Sudirman di Dongguan, China dari 10 hingga 17 Mei, Sukan SEA di Singapura (5 hingga 16 Jun) dan Kejohanan Dunia di Jakarta, Ogos ini.

Sebelum ini, Chong Wei digantung sementara oleh BWF pada 24 Nov lepas selepas gagal melepasi ujian doping semasa menyertai Kejohanan Dunia di Copenhagen, Denmark, Ogos tahun lepas.

Semasa ujian doping dijalankan secara rawak pada kejohanan itu, sampel air kencing pemain berusia 33 tahun itu didapati positif menggunakan bahan terlarang 'dexamethasone'.

Pada 11 April lepas, Chong Wei bersama peguam Mike Morgan dan Pengurus Besar BAM, Kenny Goh menghadap tiga anggota bebas Panel Pendengaran Doping BWF di Amsterdam bagi mengemukakan rayuan terhadap penggunaan bahan terlarang itu.

Dalam pada itu, BWF dalam kenyataan hari ini, berkata Chong Wei mengaku bahan terlarang itu wujud dalam sampel air kencingnya kepada Panel Pendengaran Doping BWF pada 11 April lepas.

Justeru, BWF berkata pemain itu telah melakukan kesalahan antidpoing mengikut peraturan 2.1 Peraturan Antidoping BWF 2009.

Menurut kenyataan itu, sampel doping pemain itu mengandungi dexamethasone, sejenis bahan yang dilarang 'dalam pertandingan', iaitu sumber bahan terlarang terkandung dalam kapsul gelatin dalam suplemen makanan yang diambil oleh Chong Wei.

Bagaimanapun panel mendapati Chong Wei 'cuai' tetapi kecuaian tersebut disifatkan sebagai 'lebih ringan' berikutan pemain itu tidak sedar bahawa beliau telah menghadam bahan terlarang (dexamethasone).

BWF berkata panel pendengaran itu memutuskan hukuman penggantungan bermula tarikh penemuan kesan analitikal sampel air kencing Chong Wei yang diambil semasa Kejohanan Dunia pada 30 Ogos tahun lepas.

Panel Pendengaran Doping memutuskan 'betul dan adil' untuk mengundurkan tarikh penggantungan kepada tarikh pengutipan sampel, menurut kenyataan itu.

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
