 Liu/Ng withdrawal from the 2015 Pan Am Games

For Immediate Release

 

July 9, 2015

 

The men’s doubles pair of Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng have been forced to withdraw from the 2015 Pan Am Games due to an inadvertent violation of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) General Competition Regulation 5.5 which prohibits registration in multiple events in the same week of competition.

 

Badminton Canada appealed the decision of the BWF on behalf of the athletes, however the appeal was unsuccessful. Badminton Canada respects the final decision of the BWF in this matter.

 

Badminton Canada has a strong history of outstanding results at the Pan Am Games and is focusing our energy on the remaining members of our team to ensure our organizations’ continued success at these Games
