Brazil Sends Home Swimmer Ana Carolina Vieira for Breach of Protocol<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian Swimming Federation has sent home swimmer Ana Carolina Vieira<\/strong> for a breach of protocol at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

Brazilian swim team leader Gustavo Otsuka<\/strong> said in a statement on Sunday<\/a> that two swimmers were disciplined for leaving the Olympic Village on Friday without authorization. Gabriel Santos<\/strong> received a warning, but Vieira\u2019s punishment was more severe, owing to what the CBDA said in a statement was her \u201cdisrespectful and aggressively challenge(ing)\u201d of the decision. Vieira will return to Brazil immediately.<\/p>\n

“We’re not here playing or taking a vacation,” Otsuka told Reuters<\/a>. “We’re here working for Brazil, for the 200 million taxpayers who are working for us. We can’t play around here. She took a completely inappropriate position to make her point, her dismay, about the formation of the relay.”<\/p>\n

Both were already done swimming in Paris, having competed in their lone events on the opening day Saturday. Vieira led off the Brazilian 400 free relay in 54.81, the team finishing 12th and not making finals. Santos and the men\u2019s relay finished 10th.<\/p>\n

Vieira, 22, swam at the Tokyo Olympics in the 400 free relay. She won that event at Brazilian trials<\/a> but was short of the A cut, leaving her with just relay duty in Paris.<\/p>\n

Santos was a member of the Tokyo Olympic team, where he swam the 100 free. He\u2019s in Paris for relay duty only in the 400 free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
