The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) dismissed the petition and issued a statement condemning it and the claims made.
AOC’s Chief Executive Officer Matt Carroll said the petition was ‘vexatious, misleading and bullying’
He also added that the petition ‘contains numerous falsehoods designed to engender hatred against an athlete who was selected in the Australian Olympic Team through a transparent and independent qualification event and nomination process.’
