    By low level, I meant drug on the secondary list, as was mentioned by the sports minister in yesterday's announcement.

    Secondary list probably means drugs like cold medicine etc, whereas primary list is steroids, EPO etc. (My understanding, sorry too lazy to look it up... :p)

    Well, well, well, not sure whether the China media was interviewing the 'real' wong choong hann for the truth. Latest news is that WCH has deny he had ever accepted any interviews with the chinese press regarding this issue.

    if LYD was initially suspended for a year for missing doping tests, wonder how long LCW will be banned if found guilty?

    I have watched a lot of LCW's matches. In my opinion during the WC in Copenhagen, that was LCW's regular performance in these couple years. Whether or not he is the one who failed the test, the drug probably is relatively low and might have been taken unintentionally.

    I think it is related to pain killers. Who wanted to take drugs just to win tournaments provided he has the skills?

    Seeking the truth in Norway?
    By FADHLI ISHAK AND FABIAN PETER - 23 October 2014 @ 8:16 AM

    LEE Chong Wei, who is alleged to have failed a doping test, is expected to fly to Norway to be present when his B sample is tested.

    Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has declined to name the athlete involved in the doping allegation as his B sample has not been tested.

    But the news of Chong Wei failing a drug test was reported yesterday on news portals while TV3 named the shuttler on Monday on ‘Buletin Utama’.

    “The athlete wants to witness the opening of the sample himself. We have been allowed to do so in accordance with Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) rules,” said Khairy.

    According to a source, all doping tests must be done in a lab accredited to Wada. In Chong Wei’s case, his urine sample was taken at the World Championships in Copenhagen but sent to a lab in Norway.

    The standard doping procedure is that 90 per cent of the urine is taken and separated, 60 per cent for A sample and 30 per cent for B sample.

    The B sample is for the athlete to use to challenge the result of A sample. Chong Wei is alleged to have tested positive for a banned substance in his A sample.

    The testing for the B sample is usually done at the same lab where the A sample was tested. In this case, it is Norway for Chong Wei.

    However, it is not known when Chong Wei will go to Norway to witness the opening of the B sample before it is tested.

    A source revealed that a urine sample was taken from Chong Wei for testing after he had beaten former world junior champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark 21-9, 21-7 in the World Championships semi-finals in Copenhagen on Aug 30.

    “Chong Wei allegedly tested positive for a substance which was apparently in a painkiller. The player claimed he didn’t know how he had used that painkiller,” said the source yesterday.

    It is learnt that the concerned parties are contesting that the substance found in the urine was very minimal. Under anti-doping guidelines, shuttlers requiring medication containing substances on the Wada prohibited list must complete a TUE (therapeutic use exemption) application form to get clearance.

    Khairy said on Tuesday: “Adamas (Anti Doping Agency of Malaysia) was informed of the result by the world body (Badminton World Federation) on Oct 1, the athlete and the national body were also informed via letter on the same day.”

    “Wada rules state that athletes that failed a dope test are allowed to have their B sample tested. In this case the athlete was given until Oct 17 to request to have his B sample tested.

    “He did so on Oct 16 and is now awaiting a response from BWF on the date the B sample will be tested.”

    “Since I was told of the result, I have asked NSI chief executive officer Datuk Dr Ramlan Abd Aziz and the unit head of Adamas, Nishel Kumar to do an investigation into the treatment and medication that has been given to the athlete to help find an explanation into why the result happened.

    “I have met with the athlete. The athlete was surprised but he has given full cooperation to the national body and Adamas.

    “I do not know when we will find out the result of the B test as we are still waiting for them (BWF) to give a date when the B sample will be tested," Khairy added.

    The NST tried to contact Chong Wei yesterday for his comments on the issue but he did not respond to our phone calls or text messages.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Athletes, like all others, may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take particular medications. If the medication an athlete is required to take to treat an illness or condition happens to fall under the Prohibited List, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may give that athlete the authorization to take the needed medicine.


    Strictly under the WADA (World Anti Doping Agency), athletes are advised to declare all medications and other substances that are being taken or have been taken in the previous seven days by having (in this case), Dato' physician fill out the TUE Application form and produce the required supporting documentation and forward it to their respective NADO (National Anti Doping Agency) in which in this case is ADAMAS ( Anti Doping Agency of Malaysia). Athletes should remember that according to the International Standard for TUEs, the TUE Application should be submitted to WADA at least 30 days before participating in an event.

    Since WADA does not accept TUE Applications from the athletes personally and it is the sole responsibility for the athlete's respective National Anti Doping Organization ( ADAMAS for Dato' in this case) to fill and sent it to WADA according to standard that has been outlined CLEARLY shows that either ADAMAS or NSI Medical Team that is monitoring Dato' has been not doing their job accordingly and as a result putting Dato image and career in jeopardy.

    We all hope that the B sample would turn negative but news has it even in some of the post here BC that it has been positive as well. Only an official statement by the Sport Minister will eventually clear this up but in the same time it is very disappointing and sad to know that for such common treatment taken that most probably would have been cleared from WADA if fully notified can end as a career threatening result only because the lack of responsibility of certain individual that is not following the guideline that has been clearly outlined.

    Ooh the plot thickens! So there could have been an error by ADAMAS in failing to submit the required TUE to WADA in time (or at all) prior to the WC?

    Man, if that was the case and I was LCW, I would be totally pissed! I wonder if he can sue BAM for destroying his career if he got banned..... don't forget that if he indeed got a 2-year ban, he would also miss the 2016 Rio Olympics.

    So if a player has a slight injury two weeks before a competition, they can't take any medication on the list, be it pain killer or what.

    Best to apply for a TUE for a whole bunch of meds just in case to be on the safe side?

    some of the sources are Chinese based, and to be honest we should take those with a grain of salt. too much fake stuff including reporting. we should wait for the official word instead of relying on the word of some overcreative reporters.

    True, but according to shooting stroke's post here:
    http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...-Wei-(-李宗伟-)?p=2283775&viewfull=1#post2283775

    it mentioned that LCW intends to travel to Norway to witness his B test? Which suggests that they have yet to proceed with it?

    Like others have said, there's too much info floating around that some of it may be untrue or half-truths. Need to let the dust settle before we really know anything.

    What is the drug used to treat?


    "In 2006, he was tested positive for Dexamethasone, That is the same banned substance that a current top national athlete is alleged to have been tested positive for"

    ....However, no one has come out to officially name the athlete as they are awaiting the result of the B sample, which will be tested at a lab in Oslo, Norway, at a date yet to be fixed.
