Japan's crisis-hit national badminton team suffered a further blow on Tuesday after another player was yanked from its -roster in the wake of an illegal casino scandal.
The Nippon Badminton Association said it removed 21-year-old Kenta Nishimoto from the squad's player list after learning he had visited a casino at least twice last year. Gambling is mostly illegal in Japan.
Tuesday's shock announcement closely followed world No.2 Kento Momota being kicked off Japan's Olympic badminton team for gambling at an illegal casino Nike Air Max 97 Off White Pas Cher , dealing a major blow to the country's medal hopes at Rio this summer.
The association threw the book at 21-year-old Momota, banning him from competition indefinitely.
Teammate Kenichi Tago, also found guilty of placing illegal bets, was removed from the organization's official player list for an indefinite period.
"Nishimoto told us he went to an illegal casino in Tokyo twice between February and March last year," association -official Yuichi Tando told AFP. "He said he went to the casino but didn't do any gambling."
It is not clear if Nishimoto could be recalled for the Olympic squad.
Earlier this month, top--ranking Momota dyed his highlighted hair black as an act of contrition as he appeared in front of the cameras to apologize for his actions. He admitted visiting a casino six times and gambling away 500 Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Femme Pas Cher ,000 yen (around $4,500).
Tago, a six-time Japanese champion, spent almost $100,000.
The incident comes after a betting scandal sent shock waves through the country's most popular sport - baseball - just as it is bidding for inclusion in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
People found guilty of gambling in Japan can face jail terms of up to 5 years, but publicly operated gambling for sports such as horse racing and "keirin" bicycle racing is not -illegal.
TEHRAN Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit Homme Pas Cher , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- The West should lift "inhumane and illegal sanctions" against Iran as they try to reach a comprehensive nuclear deal with Tehran, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday as the country celebrated the 36th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
While addressing a large crowd celebrating the occasion in Tehran's Azadi square, he advised the West "to seize the proper opportunity" in order to reach the agreement.
It is the second time in the past few days that the Iranian leader urged the West to take actions over the nuclear deal.
"Those claiming Iran came to the negotiation table because of the sanctions are lying," Rouhani said, adding that "Iran is at the negotiation table to help enact worldwide peace and security."
To this end, the West should lift "inhumane and illegal sanctions" against Iran Nike Air VaporMax Homme Pas Cher ," Rouhani said.
As the country kicks off its nationwide celebrations marking the anniversary, hundreds of thousands of people in Iran's major cities swarmed to the streets, carrying flags, banners and images of the late founder of the Islamic republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini, and his successor, incumbent Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In capital Tehran Nike Air VaporMax Femme Pas Cher , people were also waving banners with anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans, shouting support of Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear power.
The president said when the sanctions are lifted, it will benefit both Iran and the P5+1 group, which comprises of the United States, Great Britain, France Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Pas Cher , Russia, China and Germany.
Iran is not intimidated by sanctions, and has achieved critical growth under the West's pressures, he said, adding that if western sanctions continue, consensus in dealing with Iran's nuclear issue will disband.
"What we seek during the nuclear talks is achievement of common grounds to provide a win-win outcome for both sides (Iran and world powers) Nike Air VaporMax Utility Pas Cher ," stressed the Iranian president.
"Iran will resume with transparency its nuclear activities within the framework of international regulations, and the other party should lift the inhumane and illegal sanctions," he maintained.
Rouhani reiterated his support for his negotiating team, saying that they are working to secure the nation's rights and that they also have the support of Iran's Supreme Leader.
"Only Iran's enemies are against the (nuclear) talks, that is, the Zionists (of Israel) who have harnessed their might to oppose the talks Nike Air VaporMax Plus Pas Cher ," he said.
"We will not allow any power to influence our will. We have safeguarded our independence in negotiations and will continue to do so," he said.
Also on Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry rejected the idea that Western-imposed sanctions forced the country to negotiate over its nuclear issue, official IRNA news agency reported.
"Regarding the peaceful nature of our nuclear program, Iran is in talks to constructively interact (with the world) to put an end to this contrived crisis," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said.
Sanctions have not forced Iran to enter the talks but the "impracticality of all-out pressures against Iran" and "significant advancements in Iran's peaceful nuclear program" led the United States to the negotiation table Nike Air Vapormax Moc Pas Cher , she added.
Afkham was referring to U.S. President Barack Obama's recent remarks, saying that Iran resumed negotiations due to the sanctions.
"Iran has a the political will to arrive at a good arrangement" with the powers, adding that U.S. officials have not given up their "excessive demands" which pose a hurdle in the path towards a comprehensive deal, she added.
On Tuesday, one day before the anniversary, Rouhani said Tehran has taken major steps in nuclear talks to reach a final accord Nike Air Vapormax Off White Pas Cher , adding that it was now the West's turn to take actions.
"Although we haven't reached a final agreement yet, Iran is taking nuclear negotiations seriously and there has been positive progress so far," Rouhani said to IRNA.
"We have taken the necessary steps and now it is the other side's t. Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale T-shirts Wholesale Hoddies Wholesale Hats China Cheap Hats China Cheap T-shirts Free Shipping Cheap NCAA Hoddies Cheap Soccer Hoddies Cheap Adidas NHL Hats |
