TOKYO: Organisers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will stop using a logo that attracted controversy over claims of plagiarism, just days after pledging to stand behind the scandal-hit emblem, local media said Tuesday.
The decision reported by public broadcaster NHK and the TBS network caps off an embarrassing month for Japanese Olympic officials after plans for a $2.0 billion national stadium were ripped up due to its eye-watering cost.
The committee declined to comment on the reports, but said it would hold a press briefing Tuesday evening.
