BERLIN (Reuters) - Kuwait's Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, who was last year banned for 15 years from all positions within the International Olympic Committee over ethics breaches, is no longer an IOC member, the Olympic body said on Thursday.

The IOC, which had sanctioned the once-powerful Sheikh Ahmad over a court case in Switzerland, said there had been no request for an extension of his membership.
