KUALA LUMPUR: World No.1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei has been temporarily suspended from taking part in tournaments until the Badminton World Federation (BWF) hears his doping case.

Yesterday, Malaysians were greeted with the bad news when it was declared that Chong Wei’s B sample was tested positive, confirming that there were traces of a banned substance in his urine after the semi-finals of the World Championships in Copenhagen on Aug 30.
