Olympics boss takes brutal swipe at swimmer Luana Alonso after row over her ‘inappropriate behaviour’ & Disneyland trip
AN OLYMPIC boss has taken a savage swipe at glamorous swimming star Luana Alonso.
The Paraguayan glam swimmer was kicked out of the Olympic Village for “inappropriate behaviour”.
Camilo Perez, the president of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, has taken a brutal swipe at the young swimming star.
He said: “I read that she wants to compete for the United States.
“There is no universality there. She came here (Paris) as a Paraguayan.
” She has to train a lot more to represent USA, her times have to be much better.”
It comes after the 20-year-old told Paraguayan publication HOY that she would prefer to represent Team USA well before the 2024 games kicked off.
She was even heard saying she would prefer going back to Texas, US, rather than going back home.
She said: “I want to represent the United States more.
“It’s not a pleasure to represent Paraguay and if it were up to me, I would go back to college.”
Alonso currently lives in the US where she attends the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
She is also a swimmer for the local team Dallas Mustangs.
It is understood Alonso has now travelled back to the US.
She posted a short clip of herself in a car that had an American flag waving outside.
The glamorous swimming sensation recently made headlines at the Paris Olympic games after a row over her “innapropriate behaviour” and luxurious lifestyle.
The Paraguayan athlete insisted she is a victim of “lies” after it was reported that she was banished from the Paris 2024 Athletes’ Village over her behaviour and visiting Disneyland.
Local media reported that Alonso snuck out in the French capital to visit Disneyland – shortly after she failed to qualify for women’s 100-metre butterfly heats.
She even checked into a hotel in the French capital and visited luxury stores and restaurants, MailOnline reports.
Pictures have now revealed her trip to the famous theme park.
One snap shows the athlete donning an all-white outfit as she poses in front of the famous French Disney Castle.
Sporting a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, she was seen holding what looked like some champagne in stylish flute glasses.
The pictures were posted on Alonso’s Instagram story – and remain on her highlights.
It was also claimed Alonso was “distracting” fellow competitors in the Athletes’ Village and was wearing racy outfits rather than her official Olympic uniform.
Bosses at the Paraguayan Olympic Committee were left furious over Alonso’s behaviour, with reports suggesting they booted her out and sent her back home.
A statement chief Larissa Schaerer read: “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay.”
However, Alonso said she was never kicked out or expelled from the country’s Olympic campaign – and asked not to spread the misinformation.
In a social media post, she said: “I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. “
After failing to progress past the women’s 100m butterfly heats in the Summer Games campaign by a mere 0.24 seconds, Alonso called time on her career and announced her retirement.
She told her 310,000 Instagram followers: “It’s official now! I’m retiring from swimming, thank you all so much for the support.
“Sorry Paraguay, I only have to thank you!”
Since the controversy, Alonso has shared snippets of her luxurious lifestyle on social media.
Her Instagram account boasts an ultra-rich lifestyle with trips across the world, designer shopping and eating at the best restaurants.
A casual selfie shook users, showing her smiling with world-famous tennis champion Rafael Nadal.
She also recently revealed that Brazillian footballer Neymar slid into her DMs, but refused to say what was in those messages.
