INCHEON, South Korea - A second sexual harassment case at the Asian Games is being investigated by South Korea police on Wednesday.
Two Palestinian footballers, whose names were withheld, were suspected of harassing a female South Korean staff member at the athletes' village in Incheon, the host city of this year's Asiad, police said.
That came a day after police started an investigation on an equipment manager from Iran's soccer team who allegedly sexually harassed a female volunteer at an Asiad stadium.
Also on Wednesday, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) issued a statement announcing its "zero tolerance" policy for cases of sexual harassment at the Asian Games.
"The OCA will not tolerate any misbehavior of this nature and we will take a tough stance," said Husain Al-Musallam, director general of the OCA. "We cannot accept this, so we have removed him from the Games."
The OCA also said it has canceled the Iranian soccer team official's accreditation, banned him from Asian Games sites, and asked Iran's Olympic body to send him home.
