Chef de mission Anna Meares has put Australia at the forefront of a global backlash against a convicted rapist who has been backed to compete for the Netherlands at the Paris Olympics . Steven van de Velde, 29, was selected to the Dutch beach volleyball team last month. He returned to the sport in 2017 after serving only 12 months of a four-year sentence, having pleaded guilty to raping a 12-year-old British girl when he was 19.
” Van de Velde has been booked into accommodation away from the village while he has also been banned from talking to the media. Australia have two teams in the men’s beach volleyball competition but cannot face van de Velde, who will play in Pool B with teammate Matthew Immers, until the knockout stage. Izac Carracher and Mark Nicolaidis won their spot barely a month ago to join the nation’s No.1 pair Zachery Schubert and Thomas Hodges.
