Australian swimmers Nick D'Arcy and Kenrick Monk have been ordered to remove a photo of themselves posing with guns from their social-media sites.

The photo showed Monk holding two pump-action shotguns and standing beside D'Arcy, who had a pistol in each hand. In a statement, Swimming Australia said it became aware of "inappropriate photos" and "instantly contacted the athletes involved to ask for them to be removed".
