Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was expelled from Greece's Olympic team Wednesday for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right party.

The Hellenic Olympic Committee said Wednesday that Papachristou is ''placed outside the Olympic team for statements contrary to the values and ideas of the Olympic movement.''

Papachristou is in Athens and has not responded to calls from The Associated Press. The committee said she was to travel to London shortly before the track events start.

Papachristou's Twitter account (@papaxristoutj) contains several retweets and postings of YouTube videos promoting the views of Golden Dawn, a formerly marginal extreme right party that entered the Greek Parliament in the recent two national elections - in May and June this year - by polling almost 7 percent of the vote.

But it was her attempt at a joke Sunday that went viral. Commenting on the widely reported appearance of Nile-virus-carrying mosquitoes in Athens, Papachristou wrote: ''With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!''. Her tweet prompted thousands of negative comments that snowballed Wednesday.

If you read further about the story, she's basically a Nazi too. That's why she doesn't get the benefit of the doubt here.

I know, but she got kicked off the Olympic team for this "racist" tweet. Not because she is a Nazi.

if you're willing to nail a racist chick, is that racist?

On what date number do you think she would admit to being a Nazi to you? This is why I'm glad I'm not in the dating game. You'd have to go on at least 3 or 4 dates without a realistic expectation that your date isn't a Nazi.

Does that mean I can nail her a couple times before being labeled a racist? She looks pretty easy with that belly ring and all.

Not if it's done with anger...

I would like to think that after you went back to her place after the first or second date that you would see all the Hitler memorabilia and get the hint. I mean you would still have to take care of business but you certainly wouldnt call her back.

That makes me think of when Lacey Duvalle did ghetto gaggers....I was messed up for a quite a while after that.

Glad I missed that artistic gem. I do enjoy Lacey's work.

I liked Lacey before she decided to get a fake ass. I understand why she did it, but I don't have to like it. Young Lacey Duvalle was fantastic...

People aren't giving her the benefit of the doubt because she is a Nazi.

Good point, I guess you would have to play out the string until she asked you to go to a rally.
