Para Swimmer Deported From Japan Over Sexual Misconduct, Lifetime Ban Likely

An Indian para swimmer has been deported from Japan following allegations of sexual misconduct during the Asian Para Games in Nagoya. Mohammad Shams Alam Sheikh was sent back to India after a female housekeeping employee at the team hotel lodged a complaint alleging improper conduct while carrying out her duties in his room. The development has cast a shadow over India’s contingent at the games venue. The Paralympic Committee of India is reportedly considering disciplinary action, including a potential lifetime ban against the swimmer.
