HONG KONG - A GOLD-MEDAL winning bodybuilder at the Doha Asian Games bribed his way into the event after being suspended from competition for failing a drugs test, a Hong Kong court heard on Friday.

Chan Yun-to, 43, is accused of conspiring to offer $10,000 in bribes to Paul Chua, secretary-general of the Asian Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation, to enter the Games in 2006. He later won the men's 75 kilogram class. Mr Chua has not been charged in the case.

Prosecutor Maggie Yang told the District Court that Chan and two other Hong Kong athletes were suspended from competition in 2005 for two years after failing doping tests at a South Korean event.

But Mr Oliver Davies, lawyer for Chan, said there was no evidence to prove that Chan had taken performance-enhancing drugs in the South Korean competition.

The two other athletes, who are also suspended, have been granted immunity to testify against Chan in the trial, the prosecutor said.

Chan did not enter plea and was released on bail. -- AFP
