The national body was "temporarily suspended" by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) earlier this year after they "broke contractual obligations" by withdrawing last February as host of the 2017 FINA World Championships.

They will be unable to compete under their own flag at Rio 2016 unless the ban is lifted in time.

The Federation were also hit with a $5 million (£3.5 million/€4.5 million) fine, which they are currently refusing the pay amid an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

This resulted in Todorov resigning from his position as as vice-president of the FINA Technical Committee last month. 

He has now accused the COM of a lack of solidarity in supporting his plight.

"I'm surprised the lack of support of the Mexican Olympic Committee in the problem we face with FINA," he said in a press conference.

"It seems that for them is someone else's problem when it involves Mexicans selected."

These comments have been seen as an attempt to "destabilise the harmony of Olympism" in Mexico, so it was decided to remove him from office.

Several Mexican athletes have competed internationally under the FINA flag since the ban was introduced.

Diver Rommel Pacheco won a three metres springboard gold at the Diving World Cup in Rio de Janeiro, while Jonathan Paredes won a high diving silver at a World Cup in Abu Dhabi, beaten only be British world champion Gary Hunt.

The COM has also anounced plans this week to close its major aquatics facilities at the Mexican Olympic Sports Center.

The decision was taken due to the financial crisis the Mexican Olympic Committee is facing, although it has naturally been linked to the ongoing disruption.

Several of Mexico's top swimmers train at the venue.

This all comes after the COM was involved in an autonomy dispute last year, with the IOC even threatening to ban the entire country from Rio 2016 due to Government interference before the situation was resolved.

Budapest have now stepped-in as host of the 2017 FINA World Championships.
