PRO-SURFER ALAN CLEELAND Jr SUSPENDED AS AUSTRALIAN GIRL HARMED

Multiple surfing media outlets are reporting an Australian girl was harmed during an incident involving multiple men.
Alan Cleland Jr has been suspended in the wake of allegations, which are described as ‘deeply concerning in nature’.
“The World Surf League confirms that a competitor on the 2026 Men’s Championship Tour has been suspended after the WSL was recently made aware of allegations of a deeply serious nature involving the competitor,” the World Surf League said.
“The allegations involve conduct in relation to a private gathering in Tahiti in August.
“The gathering was not affiliated with the WSL. All WSL competitors are bound by the conduct standards outlined in the WSL Rule Book, at all times.
“After being informed of the allegations, the WSL Discipline Committee took prompt action and issued a provisional suspension to the competitor from all WSL events.”
Tahitian longboarder and photographer Vaimiti Teiefitu said on her Instagram page that three men were involved.
“Recently, something extremely disturbing happened here in Teahupo’o, involving a young girl, ” she said.
“I’m still waiting to learn more about the situation, but what I’ve heard is deeply concerning, especially knowing that the three people reportedly involved are known in the community.”
