Update: The Turkish player is also withdrawn...

 

Now for many people in Indonesia, badminton is suddenly a matter of life or death.

Why so serious? It doesn't count Olympic points after all and many good players already withdrew.

Unfortunately not everyone is calm enough to absorb this.

 

Suddenly this became a fight between Indonesian against Western aggresors. With the Danish/Indian false positive case, some even started a conspiracy that BWF just want to stop Indonesian from winning titles (as if the Indonesians can sweep the titles )

I don’t think it targeted Indonesian. On the contrary it exploded how bad the English committee to organize a tournament. The committee should feel ashamed that it became such a mess. But Indonesian players are innocent victims indeed especially Jonathan defeated the talented Thai play in the first round.

Badminton’s scoring system might change soon. Proposal from Badminton Indonesia/Badminton Maldives would make games best of 5, with sets to 11 points. Source: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1106196/badminton-world-federation-agm-may

I personally like more games. Higher chance for comebacks & makes it more exciting.

Oh that BWF has got no work. No problem the scoring system will not change. No athlethe wants that boring system which kills the coemback in a game and returns to 2000s where a similiar scoring was there.
