Further reasons revealed

Luana Alonso angered Paraguayan Olympic Committee officials before they decided to "expel" her from the Olympic Games. She finished sixth in the first round of the 100m butterfly and was disqualified. She then shocked fans by announcing her retirement.

However, Luana Alonso remained in the Athletes' Village before leaving on August 5th. However, Hoy magazine has just revealed the reason why this beautiful swimmer was forced to return home early. According to the magazine, officials of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee were not very impressed with Luana Alonso before this year's Olympics. Hoy magazine also reported that before joining the Paraguayan team in France, Luana Alonso admitted she had long wanted to represent the United States. The swimmer currently lives in the United States, where she is attending university.

Camilo Perez, President of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, said: "I know that she (Luana Alonso) wants to compete for the United States. She came here as a Paraguayan. She has to train much harder if she wants to represent the United States; her performance has to be much better."

Meanwhile, after returning to the US, Luana Alonso took to social media to criticize the allegations that she had been expelled from the Athletics League: "I just want to make it clear that I was never expelled or removed from anywhere, please stop spreading misinformation. I don't want to add anything more, but I will not let lies affect me."
