Shuttler Lee's doping case to be heard next month

Xinhua, March 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

Top Malaysian shuttler Lee

Chong Wei's doping case will be heard next month in the Badminton World Federation (BWF), a senior Malaysian badminton official said

Tuesday.

A three-man panel from the BWF was set to hear the doping case

Association of Malaysia deputy president Mohamad Norza Zakaria.

Norza said the BWF could decide on the former world No. 1

badminton player's case on the same day.

The 32-year-old Lee faces a maximum two-year ban after he tested positive for the banned substance dexamethasone at the World Championships in Copenhagen last August. Endi
