Disgraced Japanese basketball players suspended one year: Kyodo

Takuya Hashimoto, Keita Imamura, Yuya Nagayoshi and Takuma Sato were sent home from Jakarta on Aug. 20 and had their accreditation withdrawn by the Japanese Olympic Committee after they were found to have spent the night with women in a Jakarta hotel.

The report said JBA President Yuko Mitsuya would incur a 10 percent pay cut for three months. It added that the JBA had announced the sanctions following a council meeting on Wednesday where the players gave an explanation of the incident.

The remaining eight players of Japan's squad were beaten by Iran in the quarter-finals on Monday. They will face Indonesia on Friday to decide the seventh and eighth positions.
