Fan Zhendong Doesn't Put Up with You! Publicly Exposes WTT Official Lies, Dare to Act but Not Own Up? Directly Confronts Them
Beijing time on December 29th, Fan Zhendong is too domineering. He has decided to stand his ground and publicly expose the lies of the WTT officials, no longer giving them any face. This is the confidence of a super Grand Slam champion.
After Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings, WTT specially issued a lengthy announcement late at night, using six points to respond and explain Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal. One point they made very clear was that this so-called rule of penalizing players for not participating in events is not a new rule; it has already existed for a long time. The reason they imposed such high fines is to ensure that top players participate in their top-tier events, which is an explanation to sponsors, advertisers, and fans.
However, after they said this, Fan Zhendong did not remain silent and continued to post hard-hitting responses, exposing their lies. Fan Zhendong posted the following in the comment section: he had carefully read the WTT statement. Therefore, adhering to the principles of rigor and respect for international organizations, he wanted to add a few points.
Firstly, regarding the content of the WTT official penalizing non-participating players, he does not know when it appeared, as he had never been officially notified of fines for withdrawing from events before. If you say this rule has been in place for four years, why wasn't he notified about withdrawal fines before? Fan Zhendong has withdrawn from some competitions before, so why weren't there fines then? Why are there suddenly fines now?
Furthermore, Xiao Pang (Fan Zhendong's nickname) continued to emphasize that he personally guessed that it was because WTT did not have a complete schedule before this year. He received notice last week that starting next year, WTT would strictly enforce the penalty rules, and he immediately signed and submitted the documents upon receiving them on Monday. This was his response.
The implication is clear: this withdrawal was forced after receiving notice. More importantly, WTT claims this rule has been in place for a long time, but Fan Zhendong directly retorts, "You never notified me before." Consider that Fan Zhendong was ranked first in the world for a long time and is a Grand Slam-level athlete who was never notified of fines for withdrawing from events. Do others know this rule? If you claim to have a rule, why didn't you mention it?
The key point is that Fan Zhendong specifically mentioned that he only signed and submitted the documents after receiving notice and the files, indicating that this withdrawal may not have been what Xiao Pang truly desired. Isn't that forced withdrawal? Moreover, WTT should stop lying; Xiao Pang will not indulge them. The more you respond, the more explosive information Fan Zhendong will reveal later. Let's see who will be embarrassed.
It takes two to clap, and Fan Zhendong was indeed forced to withdraw. He never said he wanted to rest after Paris, so why can't he compete for half a year? If Fan Zhendong hadn't spoken out these truths, many fans would still be in the dark. Now, Xiao Pang is not afraid and has simply laid his cards on the table. You can respond if you want, but after responding, do you think you can make a big deal small and a small deal insignificant? That's impossible, and lying is even worse. WTT dares to act but must also dare to take responsibility.
