Ten members of the Sri Lankan Commonwealth Games team have gone 'missing', it has been reported. The ten athletes, which include volleyball players, boxers, and wrestlers, have not returned to the Athletes' Village at the Birmingham event in the last few days.
According to BirminghamLive, the missing ten include eight men and two women. On Monday, August 1, concern was prompted after a wrestler, judo star, and judo coach went missing, although officers from West Midlands Police were able to find two of the three athletes.
Sri Lankan team spokesperson Gobinath Sivarajah said that the two recovered sports stars had decided not to return to the squad. And now, Mr Sivarajah has revealed that another seven athletes have disappeared, leaving their bags behind.
