Indonesian star urges BWF to wise up on match-fixing
Print Edition
THE Badminton World Federation should work harder to stamp out match-fixing in the sport, former doubles world champion Rexy Mainaky has said.
The 1996 Olympic gold medalist, now head of athlete development in the Indonesian badminton federation, was concerned after two Danish shuttlers said in October they had been approached via social media to fix matches at the Japan Open. World No. 11 Hans-Kristian Vittinghus and doubles player Kim Astrup said the person who spoke to them said matches had been successfully fixed at the Singapore Open and Thomas Cup. “We have easy access to follow matches online or via live streaming, unlike in my era. Therefore, the BWF should take this matter more seriously,” Rexy told the Jakarta Post on Monday. Match-fixers have been prevalent in soccer in Southeast Asia, tarnishing the image of the world’s most popular sport.
