Who is Robert Blair?
Robert Blair is a Scottish badminton player.
Blair was born in Scotland, but after attending Loughborough University in Leicestershire, he competed for England from 2001 until 2010, except at the Olympic Games, where Scotland and England are both parts of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team. His main motivation for changing nation was the prospect of medals at the Commonwealth Games.
On 16 December 2010 Badminton England and Badminton Scotland announced that Blair would be returning to Scotland. The reason for Blair's return to Scotland remain unclear, but reports suggest a falling-out with members of the Badminton England setup was central to the decision.
