A British badminton star was sent vile rape and death threats after being accused of fixing a match.
Kirsty Gilmour was competing at the Swiss Open in Basel last week when she lost to Gregoria Mariska Tunjung. Following the match, she was sent some harrowing messages by gamblers who had bet on her match and one even claimed the contest was fixed.
Gilmour expanded on the abusive messages accusing her of match fixing and said she had never been approached and asked to fix a match. "11-5 then 18-15 to lose 18-21. All you want is fixing match to earn dirty money, huh?" she recalled in an interview with BBC Scotland.
