The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has announced that it has begun an investigation into the Belarusian Olympic Committee over Belarusian track and field athletes who came to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Olympics and wished to asylum in a third country.
Belarus national team athletics girl Christina Chimanouskaya, 24, has announced that she has accepted asylum on the 2nd after she requested asylum in a third country.
Mark Adams, spokeswoman for the IOC (International Olympic Committee), said at a press conference on the 3rd that "it is important to find out the truth" and announced that he has begun an investigation into the Belarusian Olympic Committee.
Last year, the IOC issued a punishment against President Lukashenko, who is the chairman of the Belarusian Olympic Committee, to prevent athletes from participating in the Tokyo Olympics because they are not protecting athletes from political discrimination.
The IOC is now requesting the Belarus Olympic Committee to make a written report, and plans to consider disposing of related parties in the future, taking into account interviews with the team.
Chimanouskaya told NHK so far that he was about to be deported as "criticism of the administration" over the writing on SNS.
