Sudan Events – Agencies
A Brazilian swimmer has been deported to her country and excluded from participating in the Paris Olympics after visiting the Eiffel Tower without obtaining permission to leave the athletes’ village.
The Brazilian Olympic Committee announced that Ana Vieira left the village with her fellow swimmer Gabriel Santos without permission. Officials revealed that Vieira and her teammate had made the trip after the duo posted pictures of themselves on social media. Santos received a warning, while Vieira was excluded from the team after she acted “in a disrespectful and aggressive manner” when confronted with her mistake.
