    7 Cameroon athletes missing.

    Surely the swimmer could have just made it Calais and swam the channel?

    I must say i do love the patriotic spirit that these games bring out in people, the athletes competing for their home nations work so hard to be the very best, they must truly love their country.

    tee hee:lol:

    I actually am a little surprised, do you think they have hidden intentionally? Would they have grounds for asylum?

    Why would they leave the country?

    It looks like a simple case of absconding to either live here illegally or apply for asylum/residency.

    I don't see why else they'd abscond!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain Cameroon isn't in the habit of keeping it's athletes under house arrest, they are surely free to go wherever they like? So why would they abscond?

    Though I couldn't care less if they moved here (maybe they could join Team GB in time for Rio!).

    Well if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, or in this case, country.

    Seriously though, why would they run back to their country?

    We don't know that. But it's unlikely anyway, Cameroon's a dump

    If they have ran to try and stay in England fair play to them.

    I reckon they're sightseeing. There's a lot to see in London, and The UK, it'd be a waste to spend your entire trip in The Village. Besides, they're probably unlikely to return any time soon.

    So basically we are letting 7 illegal's run around the country trying to integrate themselves into British society.


    Great immigration policies right there!

    These aren't just any illegal immigrants, these are Olympian illegal immigrants.
