Previously, Olympic swimmers were removed from the village over allegations of inappropriate behavior.

One of the standout stars of the Olympics, swimmer Luana Alonso, has been removed from the official athletes’ village. The decision came after allegations that her presence was creating an “inappropriate environment.”

Athletes at the Games reside in the village, where they mix, train, eat, and relax together. However, Team Paraguay requested that Alonso leave the village before the competition concludes on August 11.

Alonso’s performance at the Games was disappointing; she finished sixth in the 100m butterfly, just 0.24 seconds behind Georgia’s Ana Nizharadze, narrowly missing the semi-finals.

Despite her retirement announcement, she has remained in Paris.
