(JTA) The Iranian national judo team was suspended from international competition until September 2023 for forfeiting matches against Israeli opponents due to a boycott.
The decision extends an ongoing suspension of the Iran Judo Federation that began in 2019, according to a statement from the International Judo Federation. In March, the international group said it would drop the suspension if Iran guaranteed it would allow its judokas to fight Israelis.
This decision reaffirms the ban and appears to preclude Iran from competing in judo in the Tokyo Olympics this summer.
The original ban was instituted when an Iranian judoka said he had been ordered to throw matches at the 2019 World Judo Championships in order to avoid fighting an Israeli, Sagi Muki, who went on to win the tournament.

Iran has been hit with a four-year ban by the International Judo Federation (IJF) for repeated and severe breaches of the organisation’s statutes and the values of Olympism, after it instructed judoka Saeid Mollaei to avoid facing an opponent from Israel at the 2019 World Championships.
This is the second time the IJF has imposed a sanction on the Iran Judo Federation (IRIJF) in the case, with the original sanction of an indefinite suspension lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which ruled that sanctions compliant with the IJF regulations should be imposed.
In its ruling, issued in March, the CAS panel concluded that the IRIJF could validly be imposed a suspension or an expulsion.
