The soccer player Michel Morganella, who defended the London Olympics in Switzerland, was sent home after sending a racist message on Twitter. Coach of the Swiss team, Gian Gilli stated that it will use the defender in a match against Mexico on Wednesday, and should not summon him over for selection.
The defender, who plays for Palermo in Italy, would have offended the Koreans to call them "mentally retarded". Morganella would be with a hot head after losing 2-1 to select Asian, last Sunday, and decided to cash in the social network.
Morganella tried to delete the tweet and your account, but a major Swiss newspaper - Le Matin - managed to capture screen images in the messages and said in a report.
He is not the first athlete to be banned from the London Games by posting racist content on Twitter. The triple jump athlete Voula Papachristou was also banished from the Greek team after a tweet that made fun of African immigrants prejudicially .
