CWG Village Threatened with Used Condoms

Until now, the Commonwealth Games organizers have faced criticism for shortcomings in arrangements made at the venues of CWG and Athletes’ village. Now the blame turns to the athletes who complained on quality of arrangements in Athletes’ village for another reason.
CondomVendingMachine Somehow, the Indian authorities could regain the tarnished image with the amazing cultural performance on the inaugural day, but it remains to be seen how they are going to resolve the problem of clogged drains.
Clogged Drains
Now the authorities are facing somewhat a peculiar problem. The village has been provided with at least 8,000 free condoms to prevent unwanted infections. Four thousand condoms are said to be picked up already, within four days of the beginning of the event. The problem is not about scarcity of condoms but with used condoms.
The used condoms are flushed in the toilets into the drains choking the drainage system in the village. The CWG authorities are happy that the condoms are being used, but worried that they are not able to find an easy way to clear the clogged drains.
Accolades
Once the games are begun the organizers won applauds for winning race against time in making quick arrangements. The army built the collapsed foot over bridge within four days. Inaugural session concluded with everyone’s satisfaction. Indian athletes are performing well placing India at the second place in medals tally.

Nearly ten thousand athletes are participating from 71 countries. So far, the athletes are happy with cooking arrangements, as chefs are invited from several countries to make available various types of food items, specific to different countries. Thousands of tonnes of mutton and chicken are being evaporated every day. The Indian organizers should now seek the opinion of the Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennell, who expressed dissatisfaction on the arrangements three days earlier the event began.
Sex Industry
As this author informed earlier on these pages, sex industrialists under the garb of escort services are also actively performing in their own event. It appears the Indian authorities have underestimated the potential of providers and takers of sex industry, otherwise of which they would have provided wider drains so the used condoms as to flow freely in the drainage system without choking it.
The number of free condoms provided, also appear less as compared with the usage of condoms in previous international sports events. Free condoms have their own history regarding international level sports and games events.
History of Free Condoms
Free condoms were introduced first during Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992. From then on, it became an obvious arrangement just like food and accommodation. The Olympic Games organizers at Sydney in 2000 provided 70,000 condoms, which were quickly used up, forcing them to provide another 20,000.
During 2004 Athens Olympics, 130,000 condoms were provided for athletes. At Beijing Olympics in 2008 and Vancouver Winter Olympics in last February, 100,000 condoms each were provided free. Mr. Suresh Kalmadi should have made a call to Beijing for getting a clue on number of condoms to be provided at CWG-2010.
