PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Amy Van Dyken-Rouen is speaking out after she claimed she was humiliated by TSA agents during a pat down over the weekend at a Denver Airport.

Van Dyken-Rouen took to social media on Sunday posting about the experience.

The Olympic gold medal winning swimmer says she was forced to go through a full body search after an initial search by an agent.

On Tuesday the head of the TSA in Denver called Van Dyken-Rouen and apologized for the incident. He said the agents there will receive more training.

The TSA also issued a statement saying that officers "did not follow the correct screening protocols."
