The 1994 Asian Games (1994年アジア競技大会), also known as the XII Asiad and the 12th Asian Games (第12回アジア競技大会) or simply Hiroshima 1994 (広島1994), were held from October 2 to 16, 1994, in Hiroshima, Japan. It was the first Asian Games in history to be hosted in a non-capital city. The main theme of this edition was to promote peace and harmony among Asian nations. This concept was used due to the historical fact that the city was the site of the first atomic bomb attack 49 years earlier. Due to the 1991 Gulf War, Iraq was suspended from the games. The games debuted the five Asian former republics of the Soviet Union: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.[1][2]

There were a total number of 6,828 athletes and officials involved, from 42 countries, with a total number of 34 sports. Debut sports at this edition of the Asiad were baseball, karate and modern pentathlon.[1]

Bidding process

[edit]

In 1983, two cities in Asia demonstrated interest to host the 1990 Asian Games, one was Beijing in the People's Republic of China and the other was Hiroshima in Japan. The two interest parties presented their projects before an Olympic Council of Asia committee, during a meeting of the same, during the following year in Seoul, that also served as a previous meeting to evaluate the preparations of the city for the next Asian Games and also for the 1988 Summer Olympics. Beijing eventually won the right to host the 1990 edition.However, the Japanese authorities were unaware of the Chinese proposal until this date and were surprised by the option for the capital of China. Nevertheless, the Japanese proposal was extremely praised to the point that the OCA invited the city to host the following Games in 1994.[3]

34 votes were needed for selection.

Seven of those affected were , who had contributed to China's dominance by securing 15 of 32 swimming gold medals, while the remaining four positives came from other disciplines including and .

In response, was stripped of nine swimming gold medals and faced broader repercussions, including lifetime bans for several implicated athletes under rules. The Chinese Olympic Committee expressed shock and initiated an internal investigation, attributing the violations to individual actions rather than organized misconduct, though this claim faced skepticism given the pattern of prior positives among Chinese competitors—over since 1987. Only one non-Chinese positive was publicly confirmed during the Games—a Thai men's soccer team captain—but it drew minimal attention compared to the Chinese cases. The scandal amplified international concerns over doping in Chinese sports, particularly , where rapid performance gains had raised suspicions earlier that year at the World Championships in . DHT, a potent derived from testosterone, offered short-term muscle-building effects with a narrow detection window, suggesting targeted use to evade routine checks, though the unannounced tests exposed the scheme. This event prompted calls for enhanced global anti-doping measures but did not immediately alter China's medal totals in the overall tally, as reallocations favored hosts and others.

These enhancements provided a foundation for long-term urban infrastructure growth, including sustained community sports centers and local economic activity through facility reuse and tourism infrastructure.
