Glam swimmer who was ‘kicked out Olympics’ had soccer star slide in her DMs

Olympic sensation Luana Alonso, who was allegedly kicked out of the athletes’ village, claims Neymar once landed in her DMs.

The stunning 20-year-old Paraguayan swimmer grabbed the spotlight last week when she announced her shock retirement from swimming after not making it past the first round in the women’s 100m butterfly.

Then, in a dramatic turn of events, she was reportedly told to leave the village amid claims by team officials that she created an “inappropriate atmosphere” due to her behaviour. Alonso has fiercely refuted these allegations, claiming she’s been targeted by “lies” and “misinformation”.

Alonso, whose social media fame has skyrocketed during the Games – she now has a whopping 815,000 followers on Instagram – once claimed that she got a private message from Brazilian superstar Neymar, although she declined to reveal what the message actually said.

Fox Sports reported that the athlete, who’s been cheering on the Brazil skipper for years, revealed their online exchange kicked off when Neymar responded to one of her snaps on Instagram.

On the radio show Aire de Todos, the double Olympian revealed: “He sent me a DM. That’s all I can say”, and even as the hosts nudged her to spill the beans on what the Al-Hilal forward wrote, Alonso played coy as she chose to keep the contents of the message under wraps.

“I cannot tell this here,” she replied, with the 20-year-old also mentioning that the message was initially missed as it was “left on the request form”.

Following the news about her departure from the Olympic village, Alonso made a statement saying: “I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. I don’t want to make any statement but I’m not going to let lies affect me either.”
