The team's World Cup preparation plans - nothing too fancy, mainly more time together in a centralised camp - were beyond the federation's finances.

The Turkish federation told the European Commission it had withdrawn its bid on 23 September.

The 31-year-old's federation have rejected her claims that she was blocked from joining the team camp before the championships for refusing to sign its code of conduct.

A World Cup the federation has been pointing to for years is just nine months away and much is riding on the U.S. team’s performance.

Earlier this year, World Aquatics became the first international sport federation to ban athletes, coaches and officials from its events if they have taken part in the Enhanced Games.
