Used condoms 'block Commonwealth drains'
Organisers of the Commonwealth Games have blamed used condoms for blockages in the drainage system at the athletes' village.
According to Reuters, work is now being done to clear the 'thousands' of non-biodegradable contraceptives which have been flushed down the toilets.
Speaking at a news conference yesterday, Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell said: "If that is happening, it shows that there is use of condoms and I think that is a very positive story.
"Athletes are being responsible. We all know that encouraging safe sex is a very important thing to do."
Organisers have reportedly provided 8,000 condoms free of charge for athletes' use in the village.
