England didn’t ‘over-react’
BADMINTON: Adrian Christy, chief executive of the sport’s governing body, Badminton England, has defended the team’s decision to pull out of the BWF World Championships in India.
The England team decided to withdraw from the tournament in Hyderabad amid reports of a terror threat from Muslim extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The decision was met with criticism from the police, politicians and even Scotland chief executive Anne Smillie, but Christy said he had no regrets.
“We in no way over-reacted. It was the right thing to do,” he said.
