The video was posted by Arthur Nory, one of the gymnasts involved, on Snapchat last week. A day later he tweeted that Snapchat had shut his account down. That tweet has disappeared from his account.

In the video, also posted on Globo newspaper's website, Assumpcao appears to be annoyed. When the gymnasts try to apologize, he accuses them of being 'fake.'

The video quickly went viral, prompting angry responses and accusations of racism.

Many people said it set a bad example as Rio de Janeiro prepares to host the 2016 Olympics.

The Brazilian Gymnastics Confederation has suspended Nory, 21, and the two other gymnasts involved: Felipe Arakawa, 21, and Henrique Flores, 24. They will also have to appear before a sports tribunal.

Before the confederation announced its decision, the three gymnasts posted a second video along with Assumpcao on Nory's Instagram site.

In it, Nory expresses his 'sincere apologies' and Arakawa says they were misunderstood.

Assumpcao says, 'But there's no problem, we're friends.'
