Oh, no!

An official from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has confirmed that top Malaysian shuttler, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, has failed a random doping test after a major tournament in Copenhagen in August.

Chong Wei had been notified of the failed doping test on October 1, and had requested for the “B” sample t be tested 16 days later, a day before the deadline to request for the test.

There is no mention of when the test results over “B” sample would be released.

BAM mentioned that the association would only make a statement after the official results are out.

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) list of banned substances include stimulants, gene doping, diuretics and other masking agents, hormone and metabolic modulators, anabolic agents, growth hormones and Beta-2 agonists.

If Chong Wei is found guilty, he could face a two-year suspension, which means that he would miss the 2016 Olympics. However, he can appeal.

Meanwhile, Malaysian netizens are in disbelief and are all hoping very hard that Chong Wei would pass the second drug test.
