Rashid: Saving Tze Yong’s career more important than missing Olympics and Thomas Cup

Never mind that Tze Yong has to forget about qualifying for the Paris Olympic Games by missing the tournament from April 9-14 in Ningbo, China, Rashid is more concerned about the 23-year-old’s life after badminton.
