( 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 . Yang , who led Vietnamese opponent Vu Thi Hau 9-0 when the match was halted , was left in tears after the decision and a subsequent appeal to World Taekwondo Federation was rejected , the Taipei Times reported . `` This was an extremely unfair decision . I do n't know what was wrong . All of my electronic protective equipment followed official specifications , '' she said on Wednesday . `` I brought two pairs of WTF-certified socks with me . The Chinese examiner asked me to scrap the first pair , but the second pair passed the examination . `` Before the start of [ yesterday 's ] bout , the chief judge carefully examined all the equipment on my body and did not raise any questions . '' Coach Liu Yung-lung said : `` Even though the model was different , the judge did not find fault with it before the bout . If the judge had brought up the problem at the start , Yang Shu-chun could have changed her socks . `` This was negligence on the part of the organizers . Individual athletes should not have to pay for the authorities ' problems . '' Meanwhile , China leads the medal table after day five with 97 golds and 172 overall . South Korea was second with 29 golds ahead of Japan ( 17 ) , North Korea and Iran ( both five ) and Taiwan ( four ) . China won the team tennis title for the first time in 24 years , beating defending champions South Korea 2-1 thanks to victories by Wimbledon semifinalist Li Na and Peng Shuai . South Korean swimmer Park Tae-Hwan claimed his third freestyle gold of the week , adding the 100m title to his earlier victories in the 200m and 400m distances . The 21-year-old Olympic 400m champion , who won a record seven medals in Doha four years ago , collected his fifth medal of the week . China , however , have taken 22 out of a possible 32 golds going into the final day in the pool , with Tang Li claiming her fourth title with victory in the women 's 100m freestyle .
