After a dispute with Hong Kong cycling national coach Vincent Tse in 1986, Law was removed from the team by the Hongkong Cycling Association (HKCA) before the 1986 Asian Games. He was instructed to avoid the Jubilee Sports Centre's practice track.[8] Law competed at the Jubilee Sports Centre against a Shanghai team in April 1987. He received first place in both the individual sprint and the individual 1 km (0.62 mi) time trial with a time of 1 minute 19.06 seconds in the latter.[9] He was the sole Hong Konger to qualify for the track cycling event at the 1987 Asian Cycling Championships.[10]
