LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — An official familiar with the decision says a South Korea soccer player who displayed a political banner after a match at the London Olympics will receive his bronze medal.
The official says the IOC executive board will issue a warning to Park Jong-woo for his actions after his team’s 2-0 victory over Japan.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the ruling hadn’t been announced.
The IOC withheld Park’s medal after Aug. 10, pending a disciplinary hearing, which was held Monday in Lausanne.
