Tomita gets 18-month ban for camera theft
Print Edition
JAPANESE swimmer Naoya Tomita has been suspended for 18 months by the country’s swimming federation and fired from his job after stealing a camera at the Incheon Asian Games.
Tomita was expelled from the September 19 to October 4 Games in South Korea and told he had to pay his own way home after admitting to stealing a camera valued at 8 million won (US$7,600) from a journalist working for a South Korean news agency. He was initially told he had to stay in South Korea until the case was resolved but was cleared to leave after being issued with a summary indictment and paying a fine of 1 million won.
A former world champion, Tomita won a gold medal in breaststroke at the last Asian Games in 2010 but failed to win any medals this time. Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported Tomita had been suspended by the Japanese Swimming Federation until March 31, 2016. His employer, sports apparel maker Descente, had fired the 25-year-old swimmer, Kyodo added.
