Sarah Attar (Pepperdine), who will represent Saudi Arabia in the Olympic Games, is pictured in her team uniform.
The International Olympic Committee asked Pepperdine to remove all of her pictures from their site.
Saudi Arabia will send two female athletes to the London Olympics, ending the ultraconservative Muslim country's record of fielding only all-male teams at the games. The decision, announced Thursday by the IOC, means every country competing in London will include women athletes for the first time in Olympic history. The two female Saudi competitors are judo athlete Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani and 800-meter runner Sarah Attar.
