On 3 September 2018, it was announced that Pürevdorjiin Orkhon of team Mongolia had tested positive for Stanozolol in a urine test conducted on 20 August 2018. Violating the anti-doping rules, Orkhon was stripped of her gold medal.[4]

Due to the positive result of the test for stanozolol, the Athletics Integrity Unit declared to strip from Bahraini athlete Kemi Adekoya all results achieved after 24 August 2018, including her two gold medals in the 400 hurdles and the 4x400 mixed relay at the Asian Games. The medals were reawarded to athletes of Vietnam and India respectively. [5][6]

Kumush Yuldashova of Uzbekistan originally won the gold medal in Kurash at the 2018 Asian Games – Women's 78 kg, but was disqualified after she tested positive for Stanozolol.[7]
