Globo ‘to renegotiate ad deals worth $114m’ after Tokyo 2020 postponement

Yoshiro Mori, president of the organising committee for 2020 summer Olympic Games, has lamented the timing of Tokyo governor Yoichi Masuzoe’s resignation over the inappropriate use of tax money, but insisted that the impact on preparations for the event will be limited in the long term.

Papa Massata Diack, the man at the heart of multiple probes into the bidding processes for major sporting events, is said to have sent an email on the day Tokyo secured the right to stage the 2020 summer Olympic and Paralympic Games warning of the need to “lock” down African votes to prevent them going to rival bidder Madrid.
