– We have learned that our views and requirements has been distorted, and in at least one specific case, we have learned that our positions clear and the right has been tampered with.

So serious is the accusation made by sponsor Yonex/Scansport dishes at Badminton Denmark (BD) director, Bo Jensen, in a letter sent to the badmintonforbundets board of directors.

Ritzau is in possession of a copy of the letter from Yonex to BD.

Yonex – there is an individual sponsor for a part of Denmark’s best players – comes with more serious charges in the letter to the BD, on Sunday concluded a six-year agreement with landsholdsspillerne after a lengthy dispute about, among other commercial rights.

Yonex explains that the company has been informed that an undated document has been shared from Bo Jensen for Badminton Spillerforeningen and a number of players. Supposedly in an attempt to bridge the gap between the Yonex, the federation’s own sponsors and the players.

the Document is signed by the manager of Yonex international sales department in Japan, Taiji Suzuki, but there is however a problem.

More details in the document is derived according to the Yonex from a previous communication between Bo Jensen and Yonex.

– These details have been cut and pasted, and important aspects and requirements of the overall correspondence has been omitted.

– Furthermore, we have been able to establish that the Taiji Suzuki never sent an e-mail with this content, as it appears in the document, despite the fact that the document has Taiji Suzukis afsendersignatur.

Yonex will now consider its next step, according to the letter.

– It is for us totally incomprehensible and extremely disappointing and worrisome, that we cannot rely on the conditions and requirements, we come up with, will be transmitted faithfully. Instead manipulates Bo Jensen with the facts for the players and other sponsors, writing Yonex.

the Director of Yonex in Denmark, Benni Holst Andersen, confirms that the Yonex has sent a letter to BD, but have no further comments.

– I can only say that if you have a copy of the letter, then it is reasonable self-explanatory, and the additional comments I have not, he says.

Badminton Denmark chairman of the board, René Toft, confirms that the letter is received.

– I know the email you are referring to. I have no comments to. Yonex must decide for themselves which game they want to play.

– We have the matter of our hovedbestyrelsesmøde in the next week. I don’t know if I can say anything after it, says Toft.

He turns too fast, that there is confidence in the director.

– Badminton Denmark’s board of directors has been informed of the request received from Scansport A/S, and it does not change that the board has full confidence in Bo Jensen, says René Toft.
