Lin Dan Punches His Own Coach!

An ugly scene erupted on Tuesday during media day at the training camp of China's badminton team in Fujian province that saw world No 1 Lin Dan punch his coach, former Sydney Olympic champion Ji Xinpeng, a report from Daily Sunshine said.

The report said several media members from Beijing and the province witnessed the fight after an in-team competition between Lin Dan/Chen Yu and Bao Chunlai/Chen Jin.

Lin's side lost the match and Lin started complaining to Ji.

Ji did not respond to Lin's boiling temper, but the player continued shouting. Ji said in response: "Who the hell are you shouting at?"

The two then exchanged some heated words until suddenly Lin took a swing at the coach, but was immediately stopped when he tried a second attack.

Ji did not fight back after being hit.

No team members or coaches were available for comment after the fight.

hey nerds i dont know wat provocation means

@zukilover2 He could not have punched his coach. It was supposed to be for Li Meow. His coach stood on the way. He did not punch.

@on9hockeu Lin Dan 's action was under provocation. Though it does not justify him of his misbehavior, but it was initiated by severe provocation. In civil cases, provocation are first taken into the account against the initiator.

@rcasoundhmv true. but lin dan should not go for limao . he can complain but violence cant change the referee decision.

punch by what???.. Racquet

@sanvanable Any false call or accusation would be provocative unless it is done on a dead person
