It involves allegations that the Chinese team’s players are men’s doubles players He Jiting, Tan Qiang, Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen. They are accused of failing to play as hard as they can during the 2018 Fuzhou Open quarter-final infighting and violating BWF’s “Gambling, Betting and Unusual Result Behaviors” Code. At that time, He Jiting/Tan Qiang won the game 2:1, but following the game, the Danish player Witting Haas criticized the two groups on social networks for continuing to play the ball out of bounds, describing the scene as a shame for badminton.
After more than three years of investigation, BWF announced that four people were banned from participating in any badminton-related activities for three months, suspended for two years, and confiscated the prize money earned in the Fuzhou competition that year. In November of the same year, he announced his retirement.
