CHINESE badminton star Lin Dan has threatened his club Guangzhou Yueyu with legal action, saying he and other members of the team had not been paid for their participation in the China Badminton Super League. Lin said the club owed him four million yuan (RM2.5mil) and issued a statement to his three million followers on Weibo on behalf of himself and six others on the team. “We have communicated many times with the club to pay the salaries and so far their attitude is really frustrating and disappointing. For the club to win honour while we get nothing, please do not let our sweat flow white! “Lin Dan isn’t just protecting himself he’s also looking after his ‘younger brothers’.”The China Badminton Super League is a lucrative competition run by the China Badminton Association with some top-tier sponsors featuring the best Chinese players and several foreign stars.
