Tokyo Olympics :Olympians could be kicked out of Japan for violating COVID-19 rules – Foreign athletes competing at this summer’s Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics could be kicked out of Japan if they violate regulations aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus infections, according to a rule book released Tuesday.
The third and the newest version of the “playbook” with various COVID-19 countermeasures said athletes also face other penalties for not complying with them, including a withdrawal of accreditation and the right to participate in the games, as well as facing a fine.
The rules will take effect on July 1, organizers said. The playbooks for officials and workers, including those affiliated with corporate sponsors and the media, will be released at a later date.
