Welcome to the Olympic PC Games
(CNN) — Two Australian Olympic swimmers who posted pictures on Facebook of themselves brandishing weapons have been ordered to take them down by the country’s swimming authorities.
The image, taken in a gun shop in Santa Clara, California, showed Nick D’Arcy with two pistols standing next to Kenrick Monk who is holding two shotguns across his chest, according to a Friday report in Australia’s Herald Sun. The swimmers were training in the U.S. ahead of the Olympic Games in London later this year.
Swimming Australia said in a statement that it does not condone “the posting of inappropriate content on Facebook, Twitter or any social media platform.”
As of Friday morning, neither of the swimmers’ Facebook pages or Twitter accounts contained the photo.
