Background Story

Why Tong Chin Wee failed to produce a urine sample for a drugs test (He says he drank water and waited for four hours):

'This was partly because I lowered my fluid intake five days before the competition, to make my body look better.'

Why he left, despite knowing the consequences of not producing a sample:

'The SBBF medical committee chairman, Roslan Daud, and two Singapore Sports Council staff saw me leaving and didn't stop me.'

Why he wants to quit the sport

(He claims to have spent around $50,000 since joining the national squad in the mid-1990s):

'I've never had financial support from the national association in the past 10 years, and am sick of its attitude.'
