Former world number one shuttler Lee Chong Wei said he has no intention of naming and shaming the individual who allegedly tried to fix the 2006 Doha Asian Games semi-final match between him and Indonesia’s Taufik Hidayat.

This came after Taufik alleged in a recent interview with an Indonesian TV host that he was offered 400 million rupiah (RM117,000) by a Malaysian team official to throw the match.

Lee, who was shocked by the revelation, told local daily New Straits Times yesterday he contacted the Indonesian shuttler over the issue.
