The Belgian Olympic Committee says swimmer Fanny Lecluyse "was sent home before the end of the games after an incident of inappropriate behavior."
Belgian media reported that 20-year-old Lecluyse had returned to the athletes village appearing drunk at 3:30 a.m.
The team says Lecluyse left on Aug. 3. Two days earlier, she placed sixth in a 200-meter breaststroke heat won by Rebecca Soni of the United States.
Lecluyse's departure was confirmed after the Belgian team sent home cyclist Gijs van Hoecke. He was photographed looking intoxicated and unable to walk while leaving a London nightclub.

  • Athletes should be a role model. Sad to hear of such behavior, what a waste of time and energy.

    • Still, she is young. This is make it or break it time! I don't know about Britain, but in the US it is illegal to drink until you are 21. Couldn't she have waited? All that work, money, and time, because she went public and was out past curfew!

  • Can't feel bad for her. She knew the rules and picked a very bad time to violate them if she wanted to be in the main event. It's only a short time and she worked hard to get there. Seems like one night of foolishness really cost her dearly. Then again - she's young, so one night of foolishness is to be expected now and again.
