A pair of Brazilian synchronised divers will not compete with each other again after one athlete is alleged to have banished her team mate from their bedroom so she could enjoy a "marathon sex session".

Ingrid Oliveira, 20, is reported to have spent the night with canoeist Pedro Goncalves, also Brazilian, in the Olympic Village room she was supposed to be sharing with her 17-year-old diving partner Giovanna Pedroso.

The pair are said to have engaged in what South American media reports have dubbed a "marathon night of sex", fanning the flames of a row that led to the synchronised diving pair ending their partnership.
