Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill has revealed she wants her name removed from a stand at Sheffield United if the team re-sign convicted rapist Ched Evans.
Campaigners against sexual violence have criticised the club for allowing him to return to train following his release from prison after serving half of a five-year term.
Ennis-Hill, the Olympic heptathlon champion, told Sky Sports News: "I believe being a role model to young people is a huge honour and those in positions of influence in communities should respect the role they play in young people's lives and set a good example.
"If Evans was to be re-signed by the club, it would completely contradict these beliefs."
United renamed one of its stands at Bramall Lane after the athlete following her gold medal victory at London 2012.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, a Sheffield MP, said earlier that if it was his decision, he would not have let the 25-year-old footballer train with the team's players to return to fitness.
But Mr Clegg indicated that he believed the Welsh international should be allowed to resume his career, possibly with a foreign side.
TV presenter Charlie Webster, Sixties pop star Dave Berry and Sheffield businesswoman Lindsay Graham have all resigned as patrons of the club since Evans returned to training.
