Commonwealth games a shambles?
Three British athletes pull out of the Dehli games.

Lots of concerns:
Quote:
Scottish officials found their original accommodation to be "unsafe and unfit for human habitation".
Delegates who visited the tower blocks where athletes will live during the Games had described them as filthy, with rubble lying in doorways, dogs inside the buildings, toilets not working and excrement "in places it shouldn't be".
New Zealand chef de mission Dave Currie has suggested the Games might even have to be cancelled.
To add to the concerns, an elevated walkway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium collapsed on Tuesday, injuring 23 construction workers, five seriously.
