Japanese famous athlete Kouji Murofushi was disqualified due to irregularities (室伏氏が不正行為で失格)
Japanese famous athlete, Kouji Murofushi won the bronze medal at the London Olympic Games. He is respected by many athletes at home and aboard thanks to his high-minded personality.
Although he ran for the election to be an official of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), he was disqualified. This is because he was regarded as carrying out an illegal campaign in the athlete's village. Murofushi says that he has never done the irregularities but that he is solely to blame for it.
In this regard, the Sankei newspaper published an article criticizing the Japan Olympic committee (JOC), not Murofushi. The Asahi newspaper published an article criticizing the Tokyo governor Shintarou Ishihara, not Murofushi.
I guess they couldn’t criticize Murofushi because he is very popular among Japanese people and that they criticized JOC and Ishihara instead. It is usual that the Japanese press and Japanese people use big events or incidents as a way of indirectly criticizing the government, politicians and government officials. It is really disgusting.

室伏広治選手は、ロンドン五輪で銅メダルを獲得しました。室伏氏は高潔な人格の持ち主であり、内外のアスリートから尊敬されています。
室伏氏は、国際オリンピック連盟（IOC)の役員に立候補していましたが、失格処分になりました。それは、室伏氏が選手村で違法な選挙活動をしたと見なされたからです。室伏氏は、そのような不正は決して行っていないと言っていますが、同時に、失格処分については「自らの不徳の致すところである」としています。
この件に就いて、産経新聞は室伏氏ではなく、日本オリンピック連盟（JOC)を批判する記事を出しています。また、朝日新聞は室伏氏ではなく、石原東京都知事を批判する記事をだしています。
室伏氏は日本人の間で非常に人気が高く、批判することができなかったため、代わりにJOCや石原知事を批判したのでしょう。日本では、政府や政治家・公務員を批判するために、マスコミがこういった大きなイベントや事件を利用するのは珍しいことではありません。まったくうんざりします。

Famous Japanese athlete Kouji Murofushi was disqualified due to campaign irregularities (A伏氏が不正行為で失格)
Famous Japanese athlete, Kouji Murofushi won the bronze medal at the London Olympic Games.
This is because he was regarded there was speculation that he was carrying out an illegal campaign in the athlete's village.
Murofushi says that he has never done the irregular activities in question but that he is solely to blame for it.
the above sentence sounds a bit strange: why blame yourself if you think you did nothing wrong?
It is usual that the Japanese press and Japanese people use big events or incidents as a way of indirectly criticizing the government, politicians and government officials.
perhaps of saying "it is usual" instead say "it's a common occurrence"
It is really disgusting.
Do you mean it's really disgusting that the press does this? or that Murofushi got disqualified.
In my opinion it's a good thing that you (the Japanese people) criticize the Japanese government more :)
I read the English version of the article here

I love the quote "I have never given any lollipops to anyone"
the whole thing sounds a bit childish. I doubt he deserved to be disqualified for this.
