She said her salary would be cut 10 percent for three months, and that the salaries of three other JBA officials would be cut by the same amount for two months. The four players, Yuya Nagayoshi, Takuya Hashimoto, Takuma Sato and Keita Imamura, were kicked off Japan’s Asian Games team and sent home on August 20.
