Team Mongolia won 10 medals from the Asian Games which took place on 18 August to 2 September in the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Palembang. However, some Mongolian media sources reported that P.Orkhon, champion of the Asian Games was caught doping. Mongolian state-honoured athlete P.Orkhon won a gold medal at Asian Games after defeating Kyryzstan’s Aisuluu Tynybekov in the women’ 62 kg category of freestyle wrestling.

P.Orkhon was thoroughly examined by doping tests before the Asian Games; however, her samples tested positive for highest banned substances. Neither P.Orkhon nor the Mongolian Sports Unions have commented on the case.
