SUBANG JAYA: While the results for Datuk Lee Chong Wei's B sample test will be out on Wednesday, Malaysians will most likely only know the result by the end of the week.
Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) said the result will first be made known to the Badminton World Federation (BWF) and the federation would then have to accept the findings.
"If it is still positive, they will then notify the Badminton Federation of Malaysia and all this will take a few days," he said.
He, however, added that the possibility of the B sample test proving negative was as slim as 99% of the time, the result would be similar to the first doping test done on Oct 2.
The country’s iconic shuttler has been implicated in a doping scandal after he was believed to have failed a doping test conducted during the World Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August.
