(CNN) -- Taiwan's government has threatened legal action after one of its taekwondo athletes was disqualified at the Asian Games in China.
Olympic bronze medallist Yang Shu-chun was leading during a match in the women's 49 kilogram division on Tuesday when it was halted due to claims she had used extra electronic sensors in her socks.
Taiwan's minister of sports affairs, Tai Hsia-ling, told reporters in Guangzhou that the island would take the case to the International Court of Justice unless it received "a reasonable answer" from the Asian Taekwondo Union, the Tapei-based Central News Agency reported.
CNA said that Taiwan's Premier Wu Den-yih asked Tai's office to question the fairness of the ruling.
