Team GB skier Gus Kenworthy will not be punished after appearing to urinate a graphic message about the United States’ immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) in the snow, then posting a photograph of it online.<\/b><\/p>\n
Kenworthy shared the image – in which ‘ICE’ was preceded by an expletive – on Instagram a week before he is due to compete at the Winter Olympics in Italy.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson from the International Olympic Committee told the Press Association that Kenworthy would not be punished for the post.<\/p>\n
“During the Olympic Games, all participants have the opportunity to express their views as per the athlete expression guidelines. The IOC does not regulate personal social media posts,” they said.<\/p>\n
In his Instagram post, Kenworthy added: “Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough. We can’t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities.”<\/p>\n
