NSTsports: Ratchanok, known as “May” in Thailand, was able to prove that the low amount of the banned substance clenbuterol was related to meat she had eaten at a barbeque restaurant.
The Badminton World Federation said the women’s world number 5 was found to be in violation of anti-doping regulations earlier this year.
“She was found to bear no fault or negligence for the violation, and thus no period of ineligibility has been imposed on her,” the statement said. It also cited positive tests of clenbuterol from at least eight samples collected from the restaurant where Ratchanok had eaten meat. The result will come as a relief to the former world no 1 and for Thai sports in general, which is already weathering a doping scandal in weightlifting.
