Backdated doping ban for shuttler
Print Edition
The Badminton World Federation has announced a backdated seven-month doping ban for Yu Xiaohan on the eve of the Chinese shuttler’s eligibility to return to competition.
The BWF released a statement yesterday saying Yu, who was disqualified and had her silver medal in the doubles stripped after failing a doping test at the world university games in Gwangju, South Korea, last July, “did not take the pill to cheat or to gain a performance-enhancing advantage.”
Yu is free to return to competition today.
Yu’s test showed traces of Sibutramine, a weight-loss supplement that is prohibited in competition.
She attended a doping hearing on January 30 and said the substance must have been consumed inadvertently.
The BWF said the sanction of seven months was “correct and fair.”
