Belgian cyclist Gijs Van Hoecke has been sent home from the Olympic Games after he was pictured looking worse for wear after a boozy night out.
The 20-year-old was caught on camera being carried out of London nightclub Mahiki with his top and jeans drenched.
Friends, including teammate Jonathan Dufrasne, managed to haul the young cyclist into a taxi, where he appeared to fall asleep.
While he was jokingly awarded the gold medal for partying, the Belgian Olympic Committee failed to see the funny side.
Van Hoecke, who came 15th in the men’s omnium on Sunday, was ordered to pack his bags and was sent straight home.
