TAIPEI, Nov 21 (AFP): Thousands took to Taipei's streets Sunday in support of a disqualified taekwondo fighter in a row that has fired public emotions and caught the interest of Taiwan's politicians.
Some held signs condemning the Asian Taekwondo Union (ATU) while others clad in taekwondo kit carried placards supporting Yang Shu-chun, who was thrown out off the Asian Games after she was found wearing illegal sensors on her socks.
