Chong Wei: Tainted supplements not from Rosmah

KUALA LUMPUR: Shuttler Lee Chong Wei has categorically denied that it was Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's wife, who gave him the Cordyceps supplements that were tainted with dexamethasone.

The three-member panel of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) had said in a statement that, "In around 2005, the athlete befriended the wife of a very influential man in Malaysia. In around 2007 or 2008, this lady gave the athlete some of her own supply of pure Cordyceps.
