"A Belarusian sprinter who spoke out publicly about the "negligence" of her Olympic coaches says she was allegedly taken against her wishes to the Tokyo airport for a flight back to Belarus.

Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, 24, told Reuters in an interview Sunday that she was pleading for help from Japanese police at the airport and "will not return to Belarus."

Tsimanouskaya was scheduled to compete in the women’s 200-meter race on Monday, but said coaches came to her room Sunday and told her to pack immediately. She said she’d been placed in the 4×400 relay despite never racing the event before or being trained for it."
