Switzerland's Michel Morganella forced out of Olympics for racist message?

Switzerland right-back Michel Morganella has reportedly been expelled from competing at the London 2012 Games following an alleged racist message.

The 23-year-old is believed to have been dropped from the Swiss team, who recorded a 2-1 defeat to South Korea in the Olympic group stage yesterday, after a racist message appeared on the defender's Twitter account.

Reports have claimed that the Swiss Olympic committee have decided to oust the player from the tournament permanently.

Morganella apologised for the comment before deleting his account from the social network site today.
