During the quarter-final match of the Asian Games, Chinese judoka Tang Jing was disqualified from the tournament following an allegation of misconduct. The disqualification occurred after the coach of Tang's opponent reported that their athlete had sustained bite marks on her arm during the bout.

While the disqualification is confirmed, the specific details surrounding the incident remain limited. The report from BBC Sport notes that the allegation was brought forward by the opposing coach, which triggered the official review leading to Tang's exit. There has been no immediate statement from Tang Jing or the Chinese delegation regarding the specific nature of the contact or a rebuttal of the biting claim. The incident has drawn attention due to the rarity of such disciplinary actions in international judo competition, where physical contact is expected but biting is strictly prohibited under the sport's code of conduct.
