Naoki Inose, the governor of Tokyo, apologized for comments he made recently about Istanbul, a rival city hoping to host the Olympics in 2020. Inose, who is also the chairman of Tokyo's bid committee, said in a recent interview with The New York Times that Istanbul may be less equipped than Tokyo to host the Games.
International Olympic Committee rules prohibit bidders from making disparaging remarks about rival candidates, and Inose's remarks could lead to a reprimand. Officials from Istanbul have complained about Inose's comments.
In his apology, Inose said that the article focused on a few comments regarding other bidders and did not reflect his "wider thoughts" on the 2020 bid.
"I regrettably acknowledge, however, that some of my words might be considered inappropriate and consequently would like to offer my sincere apology," Inose said in a statement.
On Sept. 7, the I.O.C. will choose a host city for the 2020 Summer Games. Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid are the candidates.
