The 200m and 400m medley world champion, Daiya Seto, has been suspended by the Japan Swimming Federation for cheating on his wife.
Seto will not be able to participate in official competitions and training until the end of the year.
In the wake of the scandal, the swimmer also gave up his title of captain of the Olympic team.
Despite everything, Seto remains eligible for the Tokyo Olympics which will eventually take place.
