Regarding the Japan Badminton Association, which has had a series of scandals such as the embezzlement of former employees, the JOC = Japan Olympic Committee has decided to reduce the subsidy to strengthen players by 20% this year.
The JOC held a board meeting on the 26th to discuss the punishment of the Japan Badminton Association, which has been involved in a series of scandals such as embezzlement by former staff members and fraudulent applications for subsidies.
As a result, when the embezzlement was discovered, the association's response was inappropriate and measures to prevent recurrence were inadequate, and the organization's failure to develop a governance system to improve the situation led to a loss of trust in the organization. We have decided to reduce the subsidy for strengthening athletes, which the JOC will pay this year, by 20%, saying that it has caused the athletes' anxiety.
On top of that, we recommended that we create an administrative processing manual that can be checked by multiple people, investigate and investigate the cause when a scandal occurs, prepare a risk management manual to consider measures to prevent recurrence, and report to the JOC. .
The Japan Badminton Association took responsibility for overseeing this problem, and in November last year, the association's executives, including former chairman Yoshio Sekine, resigned, and it was decided that the reinforcement fee for the new year, which will be paid by the Sports Agency, will be reduced by 20%.
