It turned out that uniforms provided to volunteers of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics are being put up one after another on the Internet site for sale.
The Organizing Committee of the Games states that "it is extremely regrettable for acts that violate the rules."
Tournament volunteers who are active at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games venues are provided with special polo shirts, trousers, shoes, etc., but it can be seen that these supplies are being put up for auction sites and flea market apps one after another. I did.
You can see that polo shirts are sold for 10,000 yen or more, and uniforms including shoes are on sale.
In some cases, the seller wrote, "I was planning to volunteer, but I quit, so I put it up."
According to the Organizing Committee, the rules of the Games Volunteers prohibit the resale or transfer of supplies.
Also, by the beginning of last month, about 10,000 volunteers had declined, but if they declined, they would need to return their uniforms.
If it is passed on to a third party, it may be misused for crimes, etc., and the Organizing Committee is calling for the termination of such acts, saying that it is "extremely regrettable for acts that violate the rules."
