Eurosport suspended British commentator Bob Ballard from working at the Olympic Games. He was commenting on the women's 4x100m freestyle relay.
Women just finished. You know what women are like... They loiter around doing nothing, putting on makeup
Commentator's colleague Lizzie Simmonds called Ballard's remark "outrageous".
Last night during one of the broadcasts, Bob Ballard made an unacceptable comment. As a result, he was immediately removed from the list of Olympic commentators," said Eurosport in a statement.
