The International Olympic Committee provisionally suspended Carlos Nuzman on Friday, a day after the president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee was arrested as part of an investigation into alleged vote buying that helped Rio de Janeiro secure last year’s Olympics.
Nuzman is an honorary IOC member. Acting on the recommendation of its ethics commission, the IOC executive board suspended him and removed him from the coordinating commission for Tokyo 2020.
It also provisionally suspended the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB), a move that freezes assets from the IOC to the COB.
