52 swimmers fall ill
NEW DELHI - DELHI'S besieged Commonwealth Games confronted a new enemy on Thursday when over 50 swimmers fell ill just as eyes turned to the 100m, the traditional blue riband track and field showdown.
Around 40 English and 12 Australian swimmers had complained of feeling unwell after competing at the S.P. Mukherjee Aquatics Complex, with team officials insisting that the problem area was the warm-up pool.
'We must investigate this immediately. If the water is unsafe then clearly you can't swim in it,' said Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell. 'We are concerned if athletes can't perform to their best.'
Stomach problems being experienced by swimmers have already forced two Australian medal prospects to pull out.Olympic bronze medallists Andrew Lauterstein and Hayden Stoeckel failed to start in the 100m butterfly and 100m backstroke heats because of 'gastro' problems, a team spokesman told AFP.
The problems in the pool are the latest to plague these ill-starred Games after the build-up was marred by allegations of corruption, terrorism fears, shoddy workmanship and big-name withdrawals.
Since the Games got underway, venues have been scarred by acres of empty seats despite assurances from organisers that ticket sales have boomed.
