Key points:The Opals star continued that she couldn't be the "Liz everyone deserves to see compete"In a statement, Cambage said she had been having panic attacks about the prospect of heading into an Olympic bubble with no support system outside of her teammates."Relying on daily medication to control my anxiety is not the place I want to be right now. Especially walking into competition on the world's biggest sporting stage," she said.
"Every athlete competing in the Olympic Games should be at their mental and physical peak, and at the moment, I'm a long way from where I want and need to be," she said.
Need an outcome to the inquiry,...
Would've been tough to travel to Toyko. No night clubbing
Olympians and then there’s.....Olympians
Will you look at the replies - there's at least 4 conspiracy theory sub plots.
Oh Liz ... just own up and have some integrity ... we would admire you more if you just be up front and not hide behind mental health issues or quarantine or whatever
You're as likely to catch the virus here as there. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Be vigilant.
She clearly hates Australia anyway so no great loss.
She’s a divisive grubby individual. They shouldn’t have given her the chance to play the mental health card.
There’s got to be so much more going on than what’s reported in this article.
She was going to be kicked out anyway.
reporting just a massaged press releases is not journalism. Do some impartial research and present the news warts and all if you want to be a credible news source..coz this is a steaming pile of BS...
I wish the Opals the very best of luck in their quest for a medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
There is going to be some relieved girls in that team, with this news.
Let’s get to the bottom of her recent incident in Las Vegas shall we….
The mental health card is now the go to excuse for every miscreant that doesn't want to be accountable for their actions. A get out of jail free card. I don't know, but suspect this is the case for Liz Cambage. Does nothing for people who are genuinely suffering.
From all reports having LC around is proving to be toxic for the team. Once that culture starts to develop a circuit breaker needs to put in place. So maybe this is for the best from a team point of view.
Happy to see that
Good, the less she features in the media the better I like it!
Liz … you have made the right decision.after all it is just a game .. Sleep easy 🦋
That attitude is not needed on the Olympic Team. Best outcome.
Sensitive butterfly
What a massive slap in the face to the fans & team.
It’s becoming very difficult to understand why these Olympics are even taking place, the Japanese people don’t want them, their main focus is battling Covid. It would appear the officials at the IOC are drivers, ego drivers.
Good. We don't advocate violent behaviour in Australia
Good on you Liz. Your health is more important to me as an Aussie and you are not obligated to go to the Olympics. It’s an individual decision!
Good. Better chance of winning the Gold now. Fewer distractions.
Good on you Liz. CancelTheOlympics
Withdrawn again, threat or actual?
Good
