Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Luana Alonso launched into an intense rant, addressing the misconduct allegations made against her by Paraguayan swimming officials during her participation in the Olympics last year.
At the time, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, Larissa Schaerer, claimed that the 21-year-old’s presence was “creating an inappropriate atmosphere” within the team, which led to her alleged removal.

Now, Alonso has countered those claims, stating that she “left” on her own and calling the accusations “false rumors.”
“The Paraguayan Olympic team claimed I created an ‘inappropriate environment simply because I decided I didn’t want to swim anymore,” Alonso further explained to her fans on her page, per the New York Post.
“They tried to take my accreditation away, but that’s not something they had the right to do. I chose not to hand it over, and apparently that was ‘inappropriate’ to them,” Alonso added in her post.
Why The Paraguayan Swimmer Is Breaking Her Silence
Alonso’s remarks come 11 months after the incident, seemingly a long time for the drama to have died down.

However, according to the swimmer, she is breaking her silence now because the claims are still affecting her to this day.
“Seriously, this (sic) lies are wild and affecting my life, and that’s why I decided I’m keeping my life lowkey,” she stated.
Further in her rant, Alonso also revealed that she could bring lawsuits against the outlets that published the claims about her being allegedly booted out of the Olympic Village last year.
“I’m seriously considering legal action against the magazines and media outlets spreading false rumors like that I was expelled from the Olympic Village. Really? Who came up with that nonsense? Well that it’s not true,” she said.

She then seemingly recanted that decision by showing up for training just weeks later.
In May, she responded to a fan who asked if she would swim for the country again, saying she intended to return in 2026.
Alonso, however, noted that she was unsure she would be returning for “competitive swimming.”
The Two-Time Olympian Remains Unsure About Returning To Competitive Swimming
Now, according to Alonso, a spot has opened up for her on the team for the Pan American Junior Games, set to be held in the country’s capital, Asunción, this August. However, it seems unlikely that she will take part.

“If I had been treated with basic respect, maybe I wouldn’t have stepped away,” the two-time Olympian said while noting that the country’s swimming officials have pleaded with her to return for the upcoming competition.
She also added that she had “given everything” for her country, but that didn’t stop them from turning their back on her when she stood up for herself last year.

At the time, the Daily Mail reported that the swimmer created the page to sell exclusive adult content, with a monthly subscription fee of $37.
Her profile bio also hinted at this, featuring a sultry caption seemingly intended to entice fans to subscribe.
It read, “Your favourite ex-swimmer. Promise you won’t regret this. We’re gonna have a lot of fun together (in the messages).”
At the moment, it remains unclear if the OnlyFans page is still up and if Alonso has been active on it.
