PBSI's decision on Taufik<\/p>\n
The news that the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) had
\nbanned Taufik Hidayat from two international badminton events as
\n\"educative punishment\" surprised me.<\/p>\n
As a badminton lover and supporter, I would like to say that
\nPBSI's decision on Taufik is very regrettable. They have
\ndestroyed the dreams of the fans in order to save face for PBSI
\nofficials.<\/p>\n
I think the battle between Taufik and PBSI officials is a
\ndraw. Taufik does not have the opportunity to confront them if
\nPBSI is correct. So if PBSI hands down such a severe punishment
\nto Taufik, PBSI also should receive the same level of punishment.
\nOr PBSI should reduce Taufik's punishment to a \"written warning\",
\nand PBSI should try to improve its performance. Otherwise, it is
\nnot fair and violates the rules of sportsmanship.<\/p>\n
I hope the efforts at democratization and the elimination of
\nnepotism and corruption will reach this sport organization, too.<\/p>\n
