Krystsina Tsimanouskaya said she was taken to Tokyo's main airport against her will after being thrown off Belarus' Olympic team. She had criticized her coaches. Belarusian officials blamed what they called her emotional and psychological condition for the decision. The sprinter was due to compete in the 200 meters on Monday.
