SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — The British rugby sevens player under a racism investigation will not play on the last day of the Olympic tournament in Paris.
Amy Wilson-Hardy wasn’t on the start list for Britain’s classification game against China on Tuesday.
The team said Wilson-Hardy’s place had been taken by an injury replacement. The team said Wilson-Hardy isn’t under suspension.
Britain’s The Independent newspaper reported that a screengrab of a conversion in a messaging app involving Wilson-Hardy had appeared in social media.
The British Olympic Association said it was investigating the publication of the image that was published on a social media platform.
Britain dropped out of medal contention with a 17-7 quarterfinal loss to the United States on Monday night.
