1964 - Tokyo
In 1962 Indonesia hosted the Asian Games in Jakarta.
When the
Indonesian government refused to allow athletes from Israel and
Taiwan to take part, the IOC suspended the Indonesian Olympic
Committee until it agreed to abide by the rules of the IOC.
Indonesia
withdrew its team from the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, as did North Korea.
With that problem out of the way, the 1964 Olympics proceeded
smoothly and efficiently.
