Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso, known for her glamorous presence, has been expelled from the Athletes Village at the Olympics. Officials cited her behaviour, including wearing revealing clothing and socialising extensively with other athletes, as creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere.'

Alonso, a stunning 20-year-old blonde, was seen wearing her own outfits instead of the official kit provided by the Paraguayan team. This decision came after she was eliminated from her event on the first day of competition.

She has, however, taken to social media to hit back at the claims she describes as "lies".

Her Olympic journey ended quickly, as she finished sixth in her 100m butterfly heat on the first day of competition. Despite her early elimination, Alonso continued to socialise with her fellow Paraguayan Olympians.

She reportedly left the Athletes Village and checked into a hotel in Paris, opting to wear her own clothes instead of the official team outfits. According to the Mail, she was "distracting the other competitors with her skimpy choices and socialising."

Addressing the rumours, Alonso took to Instagram to refute claims that she was expelled from the village: "I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. I don't want to make any statement but I'm not going to let lies affect me either."

Larissa Schaerer, head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, had initially criticised Alonso's behaviour: "Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay," Schaerer said in a statement. "We thank her for proceeding as instructed, as it was of her own free will that she did not spend the night in the Athletes' Village."

Alonso, who has now reportedly returned to the US to continue her studies in political science, made a surprising retirement announcement following her disappointing result in Paris. She shared with her 651k 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! Swimming: thank you for allowing me to dream, you taught me to fight, to try, perseverance, sacrifice, discipline and many more."
