This sport is the sport of Kings.
I love badminton. Ultra high speed. And AFAIK drugs are simply not a part of it since they don't give a serious advantage.
Too bad it never took off on TV. Understable though as TV for a long time was 24 FPS and.... yeah that's not gonna work. |

They should do what they used to do for hockey games.
Where they digitally traced the path of the puck when it moved at high speed so people just getting into the sport can see whats going on. That was amazing. |

I believe that the `99 world champion in men's doubles Sigit from Indonesia was banned for several years from competition after getting caught using performance enhancing drugs. I'm not sure why you don't think drugs would not give a serious advantage. First of all, there is improved strength and explosiveness which is quite desirable for any athlete. Furthermore, the improvement in recovery ability would allow a drugged athlete to train far more frequently, which would have an impact on technical skill too.

I remember that feature not being so popular here in Canada back when FOX did it years ago. More practically, I think it would be hard to replace part of the weight of a badminton shuttle with the tracking device without affecting its weight distribution and movement. |

| You raise a fair point on the strength part. Strength does equal speed here. |

DENMARK FIGHTING! Predicting us to go to at least the semis in mix but gold is a definite possibility. Got a feeling China/LCW is going to sweep the rest, but I'm looking forward to the Lin Dan/LCW matchup which HAS to happen like I'm looking forward to the OSL finals - aka like a little child!
With regards to the low amount of doping going on:
There isn't really a lot of money involved in Badminton. Furthermore actual strength is such a little part of badminton compared to technique which is also what makes it such a great sport. |
