No, this isn’t a Scooby Doo episode, seven athletes from Sierra Leone, one from Tanzania, and one from Bangladesh are missing from the Commonwealth Games in Australia. The seven from Sierra Leone make up about a third of the country’s team in Australia.
Technically the athletes haven’t defected yet because their visas are good until April 26th. However, is there any question they’re not going to go back to Sierra Leone, land of 9 year civil wars, corrupt officials, and lowest average income in the word? Good luck fellas.
