An Egyptian wrestler who came to participate in the Paris Olympics was arrested on charges of sexual harassment. French prosecutors gave this information on Friday.

The office did not name the wrestler, but it was said that he was born in Egypt and was in Paris to participate in the Olympics. The Egyptian Wrestling Federation did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Media reports revealed that the wrestler's name is Elsayed and the Egyptian Olympic Committee also confirmed this.

The Egyptian Olympic Committee announced that Elsayed will face a disciplinary hearing. According to the committee, if the allegations are proven true, he could face consequences that include a lifetime ban. According to the statement, Alsayed was allowed to watch the last wrestling competition in his weight class but he failed to return to the mission headquarters and switched off his phone.

He has also won several gold medals at the African Wrestling Championships and African Games as well as the Military World Games.

He has also been named the best under-23 wrestler by the United World Wrestling Association. Alsayed's success is not limited to his achievements on the mat. He has been recognized for his sportsmanship and has spoken about the importance of respect in sports. However, he is now embroiled in a major controversy.

Despite his impressive career, Elsayed's recent arrest in Paris for alleged sexual assault has raised serious concerns.
