Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso was told to leave the Paris Olympics Village after being accused of creating an “inappropriate atmosphere”.
She is understood to have left Paris after being suspended from the village, The Telegraph reported.
The head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, Larissa Schaerer, did not elaborate on what Alonso’s inappropriate behaviour was in a vaguely worded statement.
Schaerer said Alonso’s presence was “creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay”.
“We thank her for proceeding as instructed, as it was of her own free will that she did not spend the night in the Athletes’ Village,” the statement said.
