A Swiss athlete has been thrown out of the Olympics for making disparaging remarks on Twitter. On Monday, the Swiss Olympic delegation said that it had sent home Michel Morganella, a soccer player, for making insulting remarks about South Koreans after the South Korean soccer team beat the Swiss, 2-1, on Sunday.

Morganella said that he had “made a huge mistake” by sending the Twitter message after the game and that he was “truly sorry for the people in South Korea, for footballers, but also for the Swiss delegation and the Swiss football in general.”

Morganella’s message has been removed from his Twitter account, though Swiss news media quoted a message in French slang that expressed hostility to South Koreans and questioned their intelligence.

Translated from French, Morganella's tweet said he wanted to beat up South Koreans, that they should "burn" and that they were a "bunch of mongoloids."



En schweizisk friidrottare har kastats ut ur OS för att göra nedsättande kommentarer om Twitter. På måndagen sade den schweiziska olympiska delegationen att det hade skickats hem Michel Morganella , en fotbollsspelare , för att göra förolämpande kommentarer om sydkoreanerna efter sydkoreanska fotbollslandslaget slå Schweiz, 2-1, på söndagen .

Morganella sa att han hade " gjort ett stort misstag " genom att skicka Twitter -meddelande efter matchen och att han var " verkligen synd om människorna i Sydkorea , för fotbollsspelare , utan också för den schweiziska delegationen och den schweiziska fotboll i allmänhet. "

Morganella budskap har tagits bort från hans Twitter-konto , men schweiziska medier citerade ett meddelande på franska slang som uttrycks fientlighet mot sydkoreanerna och ifrågasatte deras intelligens .

Översatt från franska, sa Morganella s tweet han ville slå upp sydkoreanerna , att de skulle "bränna " och att de var en " massa mongoloids . "
