    Indonesia badminton has been sponsored by cigarette companies for many years. It's almost inevitable that some of their players smoke.

    Oh I had no idea... I didn't think that a world class athlete would smoke (but then again look at Michael Phelps? lol). I don't think pure talent is going to be able to win out against fitness and speed this time around... :(

    Yet he did it twice against LCW late last year, and Peter did it in KO earlier this year.
    The odds are definitely against them, but the possibility is still there.

    LIke robin7 said, a reliable source confirms his age as being otherwise. I tend to believe this reliable source.

    I am surprised that BWF is not interested in players' age

    Actually, I am surprised that BWF is not interested in players' age.

    Whoever's age I have checked at BWF, I have found it left blank. :eek::eek::eek:

    Jestin ... Were you there watching live? Lucky you. :):):)

    But regardless of whether we are fans of Taufik or not, we have to admire him for being so determined to try to make a big comeback.

    Well Done Taufik Hidayat !!! :cool::cool::cool:
