For which reason was World Champion swimmer Eleanor Holm disqualified from competing in the 1936 Olympics?

Eleanor G. Holm (December 6, 1913 – January 31, 2004) was an American competition swimmer and Olympic gold medalist. She is best known for having been expelled from the 1936 Summer Olympics team after she was found severely intoxicated after attending a cocktail party on the transatlantic ship taking the team to Germany. She went on to have a high-profile celebrity career as a socialite and interior designer, and co-starred in a Hollywood movie "Tarzan's Revenge". She appeared in that film with Glenn Morris, another Olympian.

She qualified for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. After a drinking party aboard the SS Manhattan on the way to the Olympics, the team doctor found Holm in a state approaching a coma. According to David Wallechinsky in "The Complete Book of the Summer Olympics", the Olympic team doctor reported that she was suffering from acute alcoholism, but Holm denied it. U.S. Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage promptly expelled her from the Olympic team. Holm admitted to having had a few glasses of champagne but subsequently maintained that her dismissal arose from a personal grudge held by Brundage.
