The sheikh stepped aside from some Olympic positions - as an IOC member, and president of the global group of national Olympic bodies known as ANOC - after the indictment was reported in November 2018. He continues to preside over the Olympic Council of Asia, whose member Japan hosts the postponed 2020 Summer Games from July 23 to Aug. 8.
