German cycling coach Patrick Moster has been sent home from the Tokyoafter using racist language to describe rival athletes during the men’s individual time trial in Fuji on Wednesday.
Former rider Moster apologised afterwards but there had been criticism that he did not immediately face stronger punishment, with the German Olympic Federation on Wednesday saying only that it would speak to the 54-year-old about the incident.The disciplinary action instead came a day later, with an announcement that Moster would leave the Games and return home.
Prior to the news that Moster was being sent home, German cyclist Rick Zabel – who is not competing at the Olympics – posted on Instagram to condemn Moster’s language while asking why nothing more had yet been done. ‘If you want to represent Olympic values ??and anti-racism campaigns in a credible way, such an incident should not be tolerated.’
