Amy Wilson-Hardy, a player on Great Britain's rugby sevens team, has been withdrawn from competition amid allegations of sending a racist WhatsApp message. The British Olympic Association (BOA) is investigating the incident, which surfaced on social media and included a derogatory comment regarding race. Wilson-Hardy played in the quarter-final match against the United States, which ended Team GB's hopes for a medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics. As a result of the investigation, she was replaced by Abi Burton for the subsequent match against China. Team GB's captain and coach have stated they are focused on the sport despite the controversy, with the women's team now attempting to secure a place between fifth and eighth in the tournament. This incident adds to the challenges faced by the GB rugby sevens team, as the men's team failed to qualify for the Olympics altogether.
