Nigerian-born, Bahrain athlete Kemi Adekoya has won the Asian Games 400m hurdles gold.
Adekoya, who dumped Nigeria for Bahrain a few years ago was stripped of the 2018 title for doping violation.
Adekoya thrust herself back into the spotlight by crossing first in a Games-record 54.45sec to consolidate her strong showing at the Budapest World championships, where she finished fourth.
The 30-year-old Adekoya won at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon after switching allegiance from Nigeria and again came first at Jakarta four years later.
But she was stripped of her 2018 hurdles and mixed 4x400m relay golds after testing positive for the prohibited steroid stanozolol and she was banned for four years.
