In the past few hours, a completely unexpected announcement was confirmed live from the Olympic Games in France.

Indeed, according to reports from TVA Sports, Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso has officially been expelled from the Olympic Village due to unacceptable behavior.

As far as I can recall, this is the first time I have seen such a situation occur!

According to the information shared in the article published on the TVA Sports website, Luana Alonso's behavior allegedly created an "inappropriate atmosphere" within her team.

Of course, the general director of the Paraguayan delegation, Larissa Schaerer, remained very cautious in her comments, refusing to reveal the whole truth in this matter.

However, it can be assumed that Luana Alonso's actions are quite serious for her to be outright expelled from the Olympic Village.

"The general director of the Paraguayan delegation, Larissa Schaerer, did not specify the nature of the behavior she reproaches this athlete, who tends to attract attention, limiting herself to saying that her presence had a negative effect on her team." - Via TVA Sports

The young 20-year-old athlete is reportedly already back in the United States, where she studies at the University of Texas.

After participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, her journey this year has been quite eventful. Indeed, after failing to qualify for the semifinals of the 100m butterfly, Luana Alonso announced her retirement, and now she has been expelled from the national team.

It will be interesting to follow the development of this case in the coming days as new details are expected to be revealed eventually.
