The 20-year-old swimmer was accused of distracting other competitors by wearing very small clothing during social moments. However, Alonso has now responded to the allegations after flying back to the US, where she studies.
“I just wanted to clarify that I have never been expelled […] from anywhere, so please stop spreading false information. I don’t want to make any statements, but I also won’t let lies affect me,” she posted on her Instagram profile.
The allegations of misconduct came in a brief statement from Larissa Schaerer, head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee. “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within the Paraguay team,” the statement reads.
After finishing sixth in the 100m butterfly, she announced that she had decided to retire from the sport via an Instagram post. “It’s official! I’m retiring from swimming, thank you all for your support! Sorry Paraguay, I can only thank you,” she lamented.
