"The company continued to support me even when I was suspended for a doping offence. Therefore, as the "Brand Ambassador" I need to work very hard in all tournaments that I participate. For the Sudirman Cup we need to work extra hard because one half of our mixed doubles pair, Goh Liu Ying, is injured," he told reporters after signing the sponsorship deal with 100Plus here, Monday. The 34-year old player has been the Brand Ambassador for 100Plus since 2009.
