The Badminton World Federation (BWF) has made an important decision regarding the one-year sanction imposed on Korean badminton players, Kim Ki Jung and Lee Yong Dae. In light of significant new evidence, the BWF Doping Hearing Panel has reversed the sanction, allowing the players to resume playing immediately.
The New Evidence That Made a Difference
The BWF Doping Hearing Panel reconsidered their initial decision based on fresh evidence presented during the Disciplinary Committee process against the Badminton Korea Association (BKA) and in the Joint Appeal Brief to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This evidence, which was not available during the earlier hearing, proved to be crucial in reevaluating the case.

A Second Chance for Kim Ki Jung and Lee Yong Dae
The previous hearing lacked conclusive proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Kim and Lee were at fault. However, with the introduction of this new evidence, the BWF Doping Hearing Panel decided to cancel all strikes for Missed Tests and Filing Failures against both players in 2013. Consequently, no violation was committed, and any record of the sanction has been expunged.

As a result of this favorable decision, Lee Yong Dae has also been reinstated as a member of the BWF Athletes’ Commission. The BWF acknowledges that players on the Registered Testing Pool have individual responsibility for providing accurate and up-to-date Whereabouts information. While the Korean Badminton Association assumed administrative duties in managing the players’ Whereabouts program, they were held accountable for administrative failures that contributed to the ineligibility of Kim and Lee.
A Lesson Learned
It is essential for all players in the BWF’s Registered Testing Pool to adhere to the BWF Anti-Doping Regulations, including the requirement to submit accurate Whereabouts information. The BKA has acknowledged their breach of these regulations and was fined USD 41,170 for their administrative failure and failure of duty of care towards Kim and Lee.
