Chinese diving champ left off team

　　国家体育总局游泳运动管理中心26日上午召开新闻通气会，郑重宣布：由于奥运跳水冠军田亮近期的一些行为，违反了体育总局的规定，以及队纪队规，他将不再是国家跳水队的一员，关系调整回陕西队。

　　Chinese Olympic diving champion Tian Liang was dropped from the national team Wednesday because he signed business contracts without official approval, according to news reports.

　　Tian, 25, will return to his local team in northern Shaanxi province after the China Swimming Association made the decision, according to the Sina.com Web site.

　　The report did not say what deals Tian had signed or if the move was permanent .

　　Tian, who won a gold medal in Athens for synchronized platform diving, pleaded fatigue after the Olympics and was granted a six-month leave of absence in October, Sina.com said.

　　During that time, it said he "participated in commercial activities, some of which were not approved by the swimming association."

　　The site quoted Li Hua, the organization's director, as saying that officials had spoken to Tian, who said that he "didn't have a deep knowledge of the regulations."

　　"Tian is not strict with himself and has a negative effect on society," the Sina.com report said, quoting an unidentified official from the swimming association. "Despite repeated warnings, he refused to change and admit his mistakes."
