For days, there was nationwide attention on the status of badminton ace Lee Zii Jia & former world junior's champion Goh Jin Wei as they were served with a 2 year ban from BWF sanctioned tournaments after leaving the national training set-up. However, after a fruitful meeting with BAM president, Tan Sri Dato' Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria early Tuesday evening - a deal was struck to lift the sanctions putting an end to an unwanted saga, which came before the start of a hectic badminton season. Is this drama a one-time thing or does it reveal an underlying issue with sports associations?
