Print Edition
Four Japanese basketball players were sent home from the Asian Games in disgrace for paying prostitutes for sex as the regional Olympics was hit by scandal yesterday.
The players were spotted in Jakarta鈥檚 sex district in their national jerseys, JOC officials said, adding that the four had been ordered to leave immediately. News that Yuya Nagayoshi, Takuya Hashimoto, Takuma Sato, Keita Imamura had been booted out will come as a major embarrassment for Japan, who will host the Tokyo Olympics in two years time. 鈥淚 just feel a sense of shame,鈥 Japan鈥檚 chef de mission Yasuhiro Yamashita said. 鈥淲e deeply apologize and intend to give the athletes thorough guidance from now on.鈥 The basketball players had dinner after leaving the Games village last Thursday and are believed to have been solicited by a pimp to go to a hotel with women
