"It was a difficult decision to make, but we had to do it because we did not want his action to influence others in the national team," said head coach Park Joo-bong, who added that Tago was dropped after the Japan Open last month. "Without him, our strength in men's singles will be diluted, but we had no choice because he broke the national camp rules several times." It is learnt that Tago did not report for centralised training and preferred more personal attention. Joo-bong believes that the axing of Tago would keep others in check. "If this can happen to Tago, it can happen to anyone in the national team," he said.
