Disgraced Japanese tycoon may lose Olympian title

TOKYO: Japanese billionaire entrepreneur Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, disgraced in a corporate scandal at home, may also fall from the pantheon of the Olympics which he helped promote and famously used for his own good. 

The man who helped bring the 1998 Winter Games to Nagano, where he owns skiing resorts, quit as honorary head of the national Olympic committee and owner of a top professional baseball club when the scandal surfaced last year.
