Haruki Uemura, the beleaguered chairman of the All Japan Judo Federation, hinted Monday he is willing to step down from his post in the coming months after the completion of his mission to reform the scandal-tainted body.
"I stated in my opening remarks to the board of directors that if reforms and our project to improve the organization are put in place, I will resign at that point," Uemura told a press conference that followed the federation's executive board meeting.
"This should come in the next four to five months," he said.
