The Rugby Football Union will take no action against Team GB rugby sevens player Amy Wilson-Hardy following an investigation into an alleged racist message.

A screengrab of what appeared to be a WhatsApp message from the 33-year-old appeared on Instagram during this summer's Paris Olympics, with the person posting it alleging racism.

The RFU said Wilson-Hardy had "expressed great remorse" for the "historical private message".

Wilson-Hardy played in Team GB's quarter-final defeat at the hands of the United States but withdrew ahead of GB's final two placement matches against China and Ireland on medical grounds following the post.

The British Olympic Association initiated the investigation but after the Olympics finished it was then passed to the RFU.

"The RFU has investigated this case and will not be taking any further action," read a statement from the governing body.

"Amy expressed great remorse for a historical private message with a former partner. She missed two games and has committed to undertake an inclusion and diversity awareness education course."

Wilson-Hardy has also played 15-a-side rugby for England and played for Bristol Bears, Wasps and Ealing Trailfinders in Premiership Women's Rugby.
