The Hellenic Olympic Committee ruled Papachristou, would NOT be allowed to participate in the London Olympics. She did post an apology:-

“I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account, I am very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights. My dream is connected to the Olympic Games and I could not possibly participate if I did not respect their values. Therefore, I could never believe in discrimination between human beings and races.”
