On March 25, Beijing time, a notice released by the official website of the BWF shocked the entire domestic badminton scene. The men's doubles players he Jiting and Tan Qiang of the Chinese badminton team, as well as Liu Yuchen and Li Junhui, violated the relevant competition regulations of the BWF due to their negative matches at the 2018 Fuzhou Open. According to the penalty rules, the four will be banned for 3 months and confiscated all prize money for the 2018 Fuzhou Open. Penalties for the four players will be suspended for a period of 2 years, with penalties effective from 25 January 2022 and from 25 January to 25 April 2024.
This result is like a thunderbolt for the Chinese badminton team, at present, the team is preparing for the Korea Masters, Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen have been paired, the former has bid farewell to the field for physical reasons, and the latter has previously participated in the German and All England competitions. He Jiting and Tan Qiang are the key training objects of the Chinese team in the Paris Olympic cycle, and this time they are banned and punished by the International Badminton Federation, which may directly lead to the two missing the Paris Olympic Games 2 years later.
The BWF also added in the official platform notice that if several players of the national feather will not break the rules within two years, they will be exempted from punishment. This standard also makes the coaching staff and team members of the national feathers breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they do a good job, they will no longer violate the relevant game rules, and do not rule out that the Chinese team will be approved to allow the above players to participate. Judging from the current situation, the combination of Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen has bid farewell to the field, and even if the BWF bans and punishes them, it will not have any serious impact. The most fatal blow was the combination of He Jiting and Tan Qiang, who were guoyu's best hope after the twin tower combination.
The two are currently at the peak of their careers, as long as they can ensure their physical health and competitive status, in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, He Jiting and Tan Qiang will take on the heavy responsibility of guoyu winning gold in the men's doubles. This is not the first time that Guoyu has been banned for negative matches, in the 2012 London Olympics, the Chinese women's doubles team Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli were held responsible for playing negatively and deliberately losing in the group stage. The reason for the negative game is because I don't want the national women's doubles to meet in advance.
After that, the coaching staff of the national featherweight said in an interview that the team will definitely reflect deeply, learn the painful lessons of the London Olympic Games, and not make the same mistakes in the future. After 10 years, the Chinese badminton team was once again punished by the World Badminton Federation, and this championship division with a glorious history was once again pushed to the cusp of the storm. For the suspension penalty of the four men's doubles players in the national feather, who do you think is responsible?
