In April, Cynthia de la Vega, 19, was crowned runner up for Nuestra Belleza Mexico, a position that usually goes on to compete in Miss World, while the winner goes on to compete in Miss Universe.However, she claimed she was dropped from the pageant by organisers who said she had put on too much weight.
She told Good Morning America she was "sad and very deceived.""I cried and cried and cried," said.She said she had put on some weight after she was crowned in September, but that she wanted to represent her country and was working hard to prepare for Miss WorldBut pageant officials said her title was stripped because she showed lack of discipline and failed to behave like a beauty queen."The training of a beauty queen is equivalent to the training of an athlete," Lupita Jones, the head of Nuestra Belleza, said."Keeping de la Vega was a risk we couldn't take."De la Vega has denied the charges.She has been replaced by Gabriela Palacio, who will go on to represent Mexico at Miss World in November.

MEXICO EYEING FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX
Mexico is working on a plan to bring a Formula 1 grand prix back to the country after a hiatus of nearly 20 years.Mexican entertainment company CIE is working in conjunction with Carlos Slim Domit, the son of Carlos Slim, the world's richest man, to get Mexico back on the Formula 1 calendar."It's being studied," Slim Domit told theReuters news agency.
Mexico has hosted 15 world championship grands prix, first from 1963 to 1970 and then again from 1986 to 1992.The Hermanos Rodriguez circuit, which hosted all the Formula 1 races and is operated by CIE, is being considered as one of the possible venues, although it would need an upgrade to be up to GP standards.According to Reuters, another option could be a new street circuit in Guadalajara.The country has its first Formula 1 driver since 1981 in Sergio Perez, the Sauber racer making his grand prix debut this year.FIA president Jean Todt suggested last week Mexico would be welcome to the Formula 1 calendar."Today Mexico has a strong economy and I am convinced that in the future this will be possible," Todt told a news conference in Mexico City according to Reuters."We know that racing is costly. There are a series of criteria that need to be met for the event, most importantly security."
