'Missing' athlete still on payroll

Ex-badminton champ turns up in Sydney after years of absence

A top sports center in Central China has continued to pay the salary of badminton star-turned-coach Huang Sui despite the fact she has not shown up for work since early 2009.

Huang, 31, was appointed deputy director of Hunan Provincial Badminton Center in 2008, a year after she dropped out of the national team and retired from the game.
