» The five-day drama lived by Thailand's badminton princess and suffered by the country is over. Ratchanok Intanon is going to travel to Rio de Janeiro and compete at the 2016 Olympic Games, which begin in 16 days. It was touch and go for several days. Ratchanok tested positive for a somewhat strange drug used when she was recovering from a knee injury. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) meeting in Kuala Lumpur decided she had not technically abused the anti-doping rules.
