The Olympic Swimmer who was allegedly removed from the Olympic Village for creating an "inappropriate atmosphere" has announced her next career move.

As previously reported, Luana Alonso, who represented Paraguay in the Paris games, caused a stir in the French capital. 

It's been claimed that the 20-year-old athlete had been staying in the Olympic Village alongside her fellow athletes when she was reportedly removed due to "inappropriate" behavior.

Larissa Schaerer, the head of the COP mission, issued a statement about the Paraguayan athlete which read: "[Alonso] presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay," per Indy 100.

"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."

The statement did not provide any further details.

Alonso competed in the women's 100m butterfly, finishing sixth in her heat, 29th overall, and failing to qualify for the semifinals.

Immediately after her race, the young swimmer took to her Instagram page to share with her 1.1 million followers that she is now retired.

She posted some pictures of the event, writing alongside them: "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 concluded.

Several months after the Olympic Games, Alonso revealed that she had launched her own OnlyFans page.

On the platform, Alonso’s bio reads: “Your favorite ex-swimmer...Promise you won’t regret this. We’re gonna have a lot of fun together (in the messages).”

According to Daily Mail, it costs users around $35 per month to access the athlete's content. The outlet added that she had mainly shared images of her posing in swimwear.

According to Daily Mail, Alonso addressed her banishment at the tournament, stating that it was her choice to leave the Games.

"I made the decision to stop and I am happy that my last race will be at the Olympics," she reportedly said.

The 20-year-old revealed her career plans, sharing: “I am going to go to study in the United States, I am going to continue my career in Political Science and, why not, be Sports Minister one day.

'I will always have a fondness for swimming and I may attend a competition, but it is not what I want in life," she continued. “What I want is to work for a company, I already have my life plan and hopefully it can happen.”
