A reliable source close to the BWF said an official statement on the verdict will be issued this week and that they will likely be found guilty. “From what I have heard, the two players will challenge the BWF's decision at the CAS (in Lausanne). The world governing body have so far not officially named the two players called up for the hearing. However, former world junior champion (2011) Zulfadli Zulkiffli and 2010 Thomas Cupper Tan Chun Seang were seen attending the hearing. On whether the world body would call for a press conference, the source said: "I don't think so, they would probably just put up an official announcement on their website.”
