Taiwan's Vice Premier Sean Chen holds up a printed online statement that implied that Taiwanese taekwondo team member Yang Shu-chun was cheating at the Asian Games earlier in the week, during a press conference Friday, Nov. 19, 2010, in Taipei, Taiwan. Thousands of Taiwanese citizens sent protest messages Friday to the Asian Taekwondo Union, shutting down its website for hours, after the site posted an article calling the incident a "shocking act of deception" _ a formulation that all but blamed Taiwanese sportswoman Yang Shu-chun of cheating by appearing to have one extra sensor on the heel of each shoe.​

A footage of Yang Shu-chun during her taekwando 49-kg bout at the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, is played during a news conference in Taipei November 19, 2010. Former Asian champion Yang was disqualified in sensational circumstances on Wednesday, when officials stopped her bout against a Vietnamese competitor and disqualified her for wearing unauthorised sensors in her footwear. Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou stepped into the politically-charged dispute over the disqualified taekwondo fighter on Thursday, demanding event organisers at China's Asian Games re-examine her case and offer a better explanation. The Chinese characters read "sensor chips taken off before match not taken off during".​
