Would the athlete win if he sued the league? Similarly, could Louis Smith sue UK Gymnastics given that he did nothing that was illegal?
I would guess that most employers could sack someone if they deemed that they had doen something against company rules, doesn't have to be illegal.

He competes under gymnastics rules, same as all sportsmen, they have to abdide by the rules no matter how daft they might seem
