FourthOfficial.com can exclusively affirm that the identity of the Malaysian shuttler who failed a doping test during the World Championship in Copengahen, has been confirmed.
As per our story yesterday, the top shuttler was randomly tested during the World Championship, and the results confirmed that he tested positive for a banned substance. Due to the significance of the situation, an immediate re-test was initiated and the B-test sample is still being processed as we speak.
We attempted to contact the relevant parties for more details on the re-test, but were unable to retrieve a comment on the fiasco. Nonetheless, the identity of this particular athlete has been confirmed through our sources, though the revelation is being withheld temporarily due to legal reasons.
The process of obtaining results from the drug test usually takes between 48 hours to 10 days, and his identity will be made public as soon as the B-test results reiterates the one from the initial test.
As most of the local dailies have reported, the accused individual was part of the Malaysian badminton contingent at the Incheon Asian Games and played a part in securing a medal for the nation.
As it stands, the news is set to send shock waves around the nation and the world of badminton.
