Paraguayan swimming star Luana Alonso created a stir when she decided to get an Olympic rings tattoo near her bikini line before the Paris Games and then retired from the sport at the age of 20 after failing to qualify for a medal.
Alonso apparently stayed in the Olympic Village after she was eliminated from contention in the pool and that apparently created more issues.

On Monday, Alonso left the village after allegedly creating an "inappropriate atmosphere."
"Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay.," Paraguayan Olympic Committee chief Larissa Schaerer said in a statement, via The Sun. "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 wrote on her Instagram Stories late Monday that she wasn’t expelled from the Olympic Village or anywhere else. She said she wasn’t going to comment on the allegations but wasn’t about to let false information spread.

Multiple reports indicated that Alonso’s decision to take in some of the sights around Paris instead of swimming with her teammates upset officials.
Paraguayan media outlets and The Daily Mail reported that her time at Disneyland Paris made her bosses feel slighted and that she allegedly became a distraction because of "skimpy outfits."
Alonso is an NCAA Division 1 athlete, swimming for SMU. She has multiple Paraguayan records in butterfly. She finished her heat at the Paris Games with a time of 1:03.09.
She decided to retire after that.
"Swimming: thank you for allowing me to dream, you taught me to fight, to try, perseverance, sacrifice, discipline and many more. I gave you part of my life and I don't change it for anything in the world because I lived the best experiences of my life, you gave me thousands of joys, friends from other countries that I will always carry them in my heart, unique opportunities. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon," she wrote in an Instagram post.
