The meeting was known because the images were published on Instagram by the player of the Spanish basketball team Cristina Ouviña, who later deleted them and apologized through the same medium.

"I was wrong sharing this part of my Olympic experience, but I want to emphasize that all the athletes who are in Tokyo are aware of the pandemic situation in which we live and that we should not interact with anyone outside the great bubble of the Villa" Ouviña explained in his discharge.

In addition, Ouviña stressed that as athletes they are "the first interested" in taking care of their health and that of the rest of the athletes "in order to enjoy this unique experience 100%".

"

So, although in these images it may seem otherwise, we continuously pass controls and we are very respectful of the health protocols

that have been set by the IOC and the Japanese authorities," he added.

In the images posted through the Instagram stories, Doncic and several teammates such as Zoran Dragić are seen

playing poker with several bottles of vodka on the table, without respecting the distance or chinstrap

.

Luka Doncic broke it against Argentina in the Olympic debut and then relaxed with teammates and rivals.

At the moment neither the IOC nor the Slovenian delegation referred to the images that could compromise the compliance of the protocol by the athletes.

This fact also occurs amid the alert for the 2,848 Covid-19 infections registered in Tokyo this Tuesday, which means the highest record since the pandemic began.
