NAGOYA: The coach of Japan's women's judo team said Rin Maeda had been left with bite marks on her arm after her Asian Games quarter-final opponent Tang Jing was disqualified for unsportsmanlike behaviour on Thursday.
Maeda informed the referee of the alleged biting incident during the women's under-70kg bout in Nagoya, with officials then reviewing video footage and handing China's Tang the disqualification.
Tang appeared to contest the decision before eventually shaking hands with Maeda and leaving the competition area.
Maeda went on to win gold in the event.
Reuters has contacted the Chinese Judo Association and the Chinese Olympic Committee for comment.
