KUALA LUMPUR – The latest bribery revelation by Indonesian ace player, Taufik Hidayat, in an interview few days ago has shocked the badminton world.
It was understood from a recent report by Go Sports that Taufik Hidayat had claimed that in 2006, a Malaysian badminton official had attempted to bribe him to lose the Doha Asian Games semi-final match against Datuk Lee Chong Wei.
This disclosure also shocked Chong Wei as he was not aware of the incident and the identity of the alleged culprit but after seeking clarification from Taufik Hidayat, he now knows who this person is.
The Indonesian star went on to beat Chong Wei and subsequently defeated China’s Lin Dan to secure the gold medal, which meant that it was a failed attempt by the alleged culprit.
