Malaysian badminton officials expressed "shock" on Sunday (Oct 26) in their first response to doping allegations following reports that world number one Lee Chong Wei failed a test.

The officials refused to identify the player, pending a second test, but local media has reported that the top shuttler tested positive for a banned substance at the world championships in Denmark in late August.

Malaysia's sports minister had said on Tuesday that authorities were informed in an October 1 letter of the failed doping test. Local media have since reported Lee failed the random test after the championship's semi-finals. He lost in the final to China's Chen Long.

Malaysians have expressed shock and disbelief over the allegations against Lee, one of only two prominent sports personalities in the country and a national icon. Lee, who received stem cell injections in July as treatment for a thigh injury, has not commented on the claims.
