Two sources who asked not to be named told CNA that the incident occurred on the night of Singapore’s 3-0 loss to Thailand on Dec 1.
The team beat Brunei 7-0 on Thursday for their only win of the tournament.
In 2014, Olympic champion Joseph Schooling and two other team Singapore swimmers received a letter of warning after a late night out at the Asian Games in Incheon, Korea.
