The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) says it is happy for the North Korea flag to keep flying at the Hangzhou Asian Games despite it being banned over the country's non-compliance with global anti-doping rules.
The World Anti-Doping Agency banned the flag at all major sporting events, outside the Olympic and Paralympic Games, in 2021 after deeming North Korea had failed to implement an effective testing programme.
"North Korea also has written to WADA as well, explaining their position," he told reporters on Sunday. "And if there are certain issues that happen through this pandemic and that period, so we should consider that, take it into account."
