Japanese gymnast Shoko Miyata has been sent home from the Paris Olympics over allegations of smoking and drinking, local media reported Friday.

The 19-year-old, a world bronze medalist and captain of Japan’s women’s gymnastics team for the Games was sent home from their training camp in Monaco and after admitting to violating the code of conduct.

“With her confirmation and after discussions on all sides, it has been decided that she will withdraw from the Olympics,” Japan Gymnastics Association (JGA) Secretary General, Kenji Nishimura told reporters in Tokyo.

Nishimura said the association had been told that Miyata was seen smoking in a private setting in Tokyo sometime at the end of June or the beginning of July.

She also reportedly drank alcohol in a room at Japan’s national training centre.

Smoking and drinking are both illegal under the age of 20 in Japan.

Nishimura said it was unclear whether Miyata was at a party or drinking alone.

“Being a member of the Japan national gymnastics team is a position where you have high demands on you all the time,” said JGA chairman Tadashi Fujita.

Fujita said that Miyata was already back in Japan after leaving the team’s camp and disclosed that the JGA would support her.

Nishimura said she had “looked exhausted” at the camp in Monaco.

“She understands the importance of the rules and she looked sincere in facing up to her behaviour,” he said.

“It has been tough for her, but she has talked openly and honestly about it.”

Miyata won bronze in the balance beam at the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool, including the all-around title at Japan’s national championships earlier this year.
