You can go here and submit your complaint. Someone posted this earlier in another sub but you could write something like:

Subject: Steven van de Velde is a Rapist

Body: Michael Phelps was disqualified from participating in the Olympics for marijuana usage, but Steven van de Velde has been convicted and served prison time for raping a 12 year old girl and is allowed to compete. Does this man reflect the values The Olympics organization upholds? Please let me know if this is the case, and then I will be a very vocal supporter of boycotting the Olympics on social media along with many others.

Or something like that.
