Amri Reveals Internal Atmosphere at PBSI After Match-Fixing Allegations
Indonesian mixed doubles shuttler Amri Syahnawi has revealed the internal atmosphere within the mixed doubles squad at the PBSI National Training Centre (Pelatnas) after being drawn into a match-fixing issue.
Amri said that conditions at the training camp are currently running normally without disrupting the training programme set by the coaching team.
“The atmosphere is just normal, really. It’s a lesson for us as well. In my opinion, as athletes we’re not looking for that kind of gain, honestly,” Amri said when met by reporters at the PBSI Training Centre in Cipayung, East Jakarta, on Wednesday.
Previously, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) was reported to be investigating a number of athletes suspected of being actively involved in match-fixing.
“The atmosphere is actually the same, I mean there’s nothing out of the ordinary. We’re more focused on our preparations for the World Championships,” Amri said regarding conditions at the training camp, which is more focused on looking ahead to the 2026 BWF World Championships.
Amri, who partners Nita Violina Marwah, will compete at the 2026 BWF World Championships to be held at the Indira Gandhi Arena in New Delhi from 17-23 August.
The world number 18 pair said they have undergone fairly thorough preparations to compete in the 30th edition of the world championships.
