- Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah has been re-elected president of the Olympic Council of Asia for an eighth term despite being embroiled in a forgery case brought by Swiss investigators.
An IOC member since 1992, Sheikh Ahmad stepped down from his roles in the global Olympic body in November, less than two weeks after the Public Prosecutor of Geneva submitted a forgery accusation to a criminal court against the Kuwaiti and four others. The OCA said Japanese Olympic Committee president Tsunekazu Takeda had been retained as an OCA Vice President despite being at the center of a corruption probe brought by French financial prosecutors.
The OCA said its Ethics Commission had “reviewed” the cases of Sheikh Ahmad and Tsunekazu Takeda and that, based on the information available, no action would be taken.
