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.

(Michael Reaves/Getty Images) 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.
