Bernard Hibbitts at 8:35 AM ET

AP: "Prosecutors [in Seoul] plan to question IOC vice president Kim Un-yong on Monday for a second time over corruption allegations, a news agency reported Sunday. Kim faces allegations that he collected illicit money from former South Korean Olympic officials and embezzled funds from taekwondo organizations."

On January 23 the International Olympic Committee executive board announced that was provisionally stripping Kim of his organizational rights and privileges pending investigations of his actions by South Korean authorities and by the IOC's own ethics commission. Read the IOC news release here.
