Monterrey (Mexico): Cynthia de la Vega, who finished second in a beauty contest that makes her eligible to represent her country at the 2011 Miss World pageant, said she was “in total disagreement” with the decision to strip her of the right to represent Mexico because she was too heavy.

Organisers of the Nuestra Belleza Mexico contest demanded that she lose a few kilos, but they never provided a nutritionist or any other assistance to ensure the weight loss, the beauty queen said in a press conference Monday in the northern city of Monterrey.

“I want to make it clear that I did not have a specific nutritionist, that it was the coach himself, Luis Rangel, who sent us the diet via e-mail, which consisted of the same food during the whole month,” said De la Vega, who was accompanied by her mother and her attorney, Roberto Flores. (IANS)
