Amy Wilson-Hardy’s ‘racist message’ investigated by British Olympic Association
Team GB rugby sevens player Amy Wilson-Hardy is being investigated over an alleged racist message, the British Olympic Association has said.
A screengrab of what appeared to be a WhatsApp message from Wilson-Hardy appeared on Instagram, with the person posting it alleging racism.
The PA news agency understands this does not affect her availability for Team GB’s match against China on Tuesday.
A BOA spokesperson said: “The British Olympic Association has been made aware of an image published on a social media platform and is investigating the matter.”
Wilson-Hardy played in the 17-7 quarter-final defeat to the United States on Monday that ended Team GB’s medal hopes at Paris 2024.
The 32-year-old, who has represented England in the XVs game, was part of the Team GB Olympic squad which finished fourth at Rio 2016.
Team GB women’s rugby sevens will play China at the Stade de France on Tuesday at 230pm (130pm BST) to determine finishing between fifth and eighth in the competition.
