Brazilian swimmer Ana Carolina Vieira has accused the Olympic administration of harassment after being expelled from the ongoing games.
Brazil’s Olympic committee decided to repatriate 22-year-old Ana after the swimmer spent a night out with her friend Gabriel Santos, and posting pictures of herself with her boyfriend enjoying the weather outside the Olympic Village.
The swimmer appeared in tears in a video clip posted on Instagram, expressing her anger at the Brazilian Olympic Committee. She said, “The Olympic Committee ignored my complaints of harassment. I was not even allowed to take my belongings from the Olympic Village and was forced to go to the airport in short clothes.”
Brazil’s swimming team president, Gustavo Otsuka, said, “We came to Paris to play for the 200 million Brazilians who pay taxes; we’re not here to have fun and have a vacation.”
According to the rules, players are not allowed to leave the Olympic Village.
