Commonwealth Games: Nine Cameroonians Decamp (29.03.2006)
Reports from Melbourne say the athletes cannot be traced by the police.
Members of Cameroon’s official delegation to the 18th Commonwealth Games that took place in Melbourne, Australia, from 15th to 26th March, 2006, returned to the country in divided ranks last night. The whereabouts of nine persons of the delegation that comprised 54 persons — 27 athletes and 27 officials, could not be known. Five boxers, one athlete and three weightlifters, including a medallist, were no where to be found when the official delegation left the athlete’s village in Melbourne. At press time yesterday, the sportspersons were still at large as they couldn’t be found by the Melbourne police. They have joined what has become a growing list of unaccounted-for athletes.
Officially, the nine athletes have not yet breached any immigration rules in Australia because they were issued special visas for the Games; valid for another month. Australia`s Immigration Department said they would not become involved until after the athletes` special Games visas expire on 26 April. Presently, the Australian police are treating the cases as those of missing persons and have urged anyone with information about the said athletes to contact them.
Cameroon is not the only country whose athletes deserted the official delegation in Melbourne. 14 of Senegal’s 21-man squad disappeared in Melbourne. Yesterday, six of the Senegalese athletes turned up in a refugee centre in Sydney, where they were put in touch with Australian immigration authorities. Another six, detained by police on Monday, have been told they can stay in Australia pending an
application for refugee status. Two Senegalese, a Bangladeshi runner and a Tanzanian boxer are still not found.
The missing athletes have been told by Australian officials that they will need a "bona fide" reason to seek to stay. Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, said each case would be handled individually if anybody sought asylum. "We don`t give blanket asylum to people who leave sporting teams in this country," Howard told Australian radio.
This is not the first time that athletes participating in an international competition have deserted their delegations. In 2002 Commonwealth Games, 21 Sierra Leoneans, five Bangladeshis, one Pakistani were missing in Manchester. In 2002 Asian Games, 12 Nepalese, three Sri Lankans and one Mongolian were also missing in South Korea, while in 2000 Sydney Olympics, 80 officials and athletes overstayed visas with 11 cases unresolved.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Games officials have ruled out banning athletes that have absconded from the event in Melbourne. The Games Federation president, Mike Fennell, said banning the countries whose athletes disappear is not on their agenda. Fennell added that there were no plans to stop any of the countries from competing at the 2010 Games in New Delhi. "We recognise that in a number of countries there are considerable hardships and therefore, whether athletes or other citizens, they will go to other countries where they think they will be better off." Fennell said all his federation could do was to warn athletes that if they tried to stay in a country illegally they would feel the full weight of that nation`s laws.
