In his communication to BWF, BWF Deputy President Gustavo Salazar indicated he would step aside for the time being so as not to cause any reputational or undue damage to the BWF while the investigation is in progress.
The request stems from accusations against Salazar in his homeland, Peru, related to personal business matters. They are entirely unrelated to badminton and Salazar’s role as BWF Deputy President.
The Badminton World Federation has accepted this request from its Deputy President Gustavo Salazar Delgado to be excused from his duties until an investigation against him is completed.
