Thai Ratchanok cleared of doping, ready for Olympics
Print Edition
THAI star Ratchanok Intanon broke down in tears and spoke of her relief yesterday after being cleared of doping, ending fears her Olympic dreams had been scuppered.
The 21-year-old shuttler, who is beloved in Thailand and remains the kingdom’s best chance for a medal in Rio, tested positive for a banned substance in May after the Thomas and Uber Cup in China. But the Badminton World Federation yesterday cleared her after ruling that the substance had been administered to treat a tendon injury and was allowed. “I was confident in my innocence and I am glad that I received justice. I will practice and hope to bring a medal back for Thais,” she said at a press conference in Bangkok. In a statement, the BWF said Ratchanok tested positive for triamcinolone acetonide, a corticosteroid which is banned in most circumstances. However, if administered directly into a muscle tendon for medical reasons it is allowed under the BWF’s rules.
