Thai club to appeal brawling shuttler鈥檚 2-year ban
Print Edition
Bodin Issara’s club Granular will appeal the shuttler’s two-year ban by the Badminton Association of Thailand (BAT) for his ugly on-court brawl with his former doubles partner Maneepong Jongjit during the Canada Open final.
Maneepong also received a three-month ban on Saturday for provocation after lengthy deliberations in Bangkok and the duo could face further penalties with the Badminton World Federation (BWF) investigating the incident.
Granular, which had earlier suspended Bodin without pay until the end of the year, said the two-year ban was too harsh and it would seek to get it reduced to a year or even six months.
“I understand that BAT would like to set a standard but a two-year ban is too severe,” Granular President Jane Piyatat told The Nation newspaper yesterday.
“After the BWF announces its decision, we will file a petition.”
The duo teamed up for Thailand at the London Olympics and were competing on opposite sides for the first time since their split in Canada earlier this month. Trouble broke out between the two Thais after Maneepong and his partner Nipitphon Puangpuapech bagged the first game. At the change of ends Maneepong hit Bodin with his racquet following a heated verbal exchange.
Bodin retaliated by chasing Maneepong to a neighboring court, tackling him to the ground and punching him several times, for which he was disqualified.
The BWF has charged both players with inappropriate conduct, oral abuse and unsportsmanlike conduct. Bodin was charged with physical abuse and conduct contrary to the integrity of the game.
