        It doesn’t have anything to do with chess. However, whatever organization is handing out these champion titles has the right to award and remove the titles as they choose. If they don’t want a bathtub-shitter as their champion spokesman, they are within their right to remove the title.

        I bet that digging into the bylaws of many sports/competitions would reveal codes of conduct that participants must follow.
