She announced Thursday she wouldn’t be competing at the trials, beginning on Saturday in Adelaide, citing “misogynistic perverts in sport” for her boycott.

— and followed it up 24 hours later by announcing she is going dark on her Instagram and Twitter accounts.“I’m deleting this app for the moment but while I’ve got ur attention please consider donating to or sharing my friend’s cancer treatment fund.” She posted on Instagram that she would not be taking any interviews or making any further public comments.“I’m not speaking to any media and I’m going on holidays now.”Maddie Groves' final posts before taking a break.

“I genuinely think this will be one of the fastest Australian Swim Teams ever and I encourage everyone to get on the bandwagon early.On Thursday morning, Groves followed her Instagram post with a tweet that took aim at those responsible for her boycott.“You can no longer exploit young women and girls, body shame or medically gaslight them and then expect them to represent you so you can earn your annual bonus. Time’s UP.

Let this be a lesson to all misogynistic perverts in sport and their boot lickers - You can no longer exploit young women and girls, body shame or medically gaslight them and then expect them to represent you so you can earn your annual bonus. Time’s UP

Names must be named in order for the claim to be believed.

what drugs is she using. i guess she was about to be caught... obviously her swimming is not good enough

Sounds awfully familiar.

The state of the comments. “No evidence of misogyny”

We as society need her to name names as unsubstantiated claims mean nothing and make her look a twisted bitter woman coming to the end of her swimming career.

predators usually leave no evidence so many of them just keep on abusing women

Typical case of' she wasn't going to make the cut anyway, so I'll pull out and blame the current buzz for my own short comings.' Pathetic.

Here we go again with another wanker Aussie bloke imploring us to believe “it just didn’t happen”.

like ufotwitter proof or it wasn't real

Good move … give everyone a break

Fuck we throw the word STAR out so easily!!! Back in my day a STAR was someone that actually accomplished something.

Quitting her sport becoz someone is checking her out seems a bit ott. We need more information before we know what’s going on

never heard of her is she Julia Gillards lover? it's easy to throw out these words as an excuse for your own failures but where is your evidence?

Not sure who you are but you must show some evidence otherwise how can one defend one's self not fair.

I support her decision. Social media can be a sewer at times. The comments presented would lead any one to despair.

Stupid article. He obviously puts far more weight to what he has learnt and how he has grown. There are many of the greatest champions who have not won premierships.
