Swimmer Luana Alonso Slams Rumor She Was ‘Removed’ From Olympic Village for ‘Inappropriate’ Behavior

Luana Alonso slammed 'false information' that she was removed from the Olympic Village for 'inappropriate' behavior after failing to qualify for the Games.

“I just wanted to make it clear that I was never removed or expelled from anywhere,” Luana, 20, wrote via her Instagram Stories, which was translated from Spanish, on Monday, August 5. “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee boss said in a statement. Luana’s unexpected departure follows the dismissal of another Olympian, 22-year-old Ana Carolina Vieira, from the Brazilian team for reportedly sneaking out of the athletes’ village at night with her boyfriend.
