Alonso, who was housed in the Paris village with other Olympic athletes, was removed on Sunday following a statement from Larissa Schaerer, General Manager of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee.
Schaerer stated that Alonso’s presence was having a negative impact on her team.
“Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Schaerer said.
Alonso requested to leave the village, and Schaerer confirmed that her departure was voluntary.

“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,” Schaerer added.
Prior to her exit, Alonso, who also competed in the Tokyo Games, posted an emotional message on social media announcing her retirement from swimming.
"I am very emotional because it was my last race. I am retiring from swimming. I have been swimming for 18 years and have so many emotions,” Alonso wrote.

The 20-year-old swimmer later returned to her accommodations, but Schaerer instructed her to leave once more.
