NATIONAL shuttler Lee Chong Wei has denied that he is the man in a sex video being circulated in chat groups, and will lodge a police report over the matter.

“That is totally not me,” Lee told The Malaysian Insight when asked about the clip that went viral on Chinese-language chat groups this morning.

The national badminton hero said he had no idea why he was linked to the video, adding that he would seek the police’s help to identify those behind it.

Lee did not discount the possibility of sabotage, saying that someone could be envious of his accomplishments and was seeking to undermine him ahead of the release of a biographical film about him.

The film premieres on March 9 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

Lee was calm when he spoke to The Malaysian Insight, and although upset over the incident, said he would not let it distract him from his training.

Lee is married and has two children.

His long-time badminton rival, China’s Lin Dan, was also accused of having an affair with a model in 2016 while his wife was pregnant. – February 13, 2018.
