Cricket loss makes Oz athletes take it out on washing machine - The Times of India

NEW DELHI: At the top of the medal tally and the undisputed champions of the Commonwealth Games, the Australian team, sadly didn't show any sporting spirit when their cricket team lost the Test series to India on Wednesday.

Enraged by the humiliating loss, some athletes, according to highly-placed sources in Delhi Police, went berserk, destroying electrical fittings and furniture in their tower in the Games Village on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Not just that, policemen posted there say they also shouted slogans against batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar, who played a pivotal role in ensuring India's victory in the Bangalore match, and flung a washing machine down from the eighth floor of their tower.

Their hooliganism started on Tuesday when Sachin scored a double century. "The house-keeping staff tried to stop them but to no avail," said a senior police officer handling security inside the Village. Stunned by the little master's stellar performance, they first damaged electrical fittings and fixtures in their block.

On Wednesday, when India brownwashed Australia 2-0 to keep the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Australian athletes reportedly threw a washing machine down from the eighth floor, said a senior officer. Mercifully, no one was injured.

Delhi Police, which received a complaint about this vandalism, tried to downplay the incidents to prevent them from snowballing into a diplomatic embarrassment for Australia.

On reports that some Australian athletes went berserk inside the Games Village after their cricket team lost the Test series to India, a senior officer posted there said that they have not received any complaints from Organising Committee (OC) which owns the property inside the Games Village. "Therefore, we have not registered any case," said a senior police officer.

Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said: "No complaint has been received. We have found a broken washing machine from the block where the athletes were staying. We are trying to establish as to how the machine reached there."

OC officials didn't pursue the matter. "We have not given any complaint and the matter has been sorted out after discussion with the Australian chef-de-mission," said an official. When asked whether the Australian athletes have tendered any apology, he declined any comment.

 

[Awesome]

lol, sounds unrealistic.

I would need to see a video to believe, nobody flipped out a cellphone and recorded sports celebrities on a rampage?

 

[roach]

Sounds like a load of BS. Why would Australian CWG athletes, who did very well, lose it on behalf of their cricket team?

More likely a bunch of them got pissed drunk and got into a fight or whatever.

Delhi does that to you

Aussie athletes slam Sachin, trash washing machine at CWG

Aussie athletes slam Sachin, trash washing machine at CWG

Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar was abused by Aussies and a washing machine thrown from the 8th floor, Aussies deny wrongdoing.

Contrary to reports that have been indicating that the Australian Commonwealth contingent ran riot during the Closing ceremony at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, indulging in arson and bad mouthing Sachin Tendulkar, the Oz CWG boss has indicated that no such thing happened.
Australia's Commonwealth Games boss Perry Crosswhite today denied involvement of any Australian athlete in the vandalism at the Games Village.
It has been reported that some Australian athletes went on rampage at Village following India's fabulous Test series win over Australia, out of frustration.

The report said the Aussies also raised fans against Indian batting icon Sachin Tendulkar, who was pivotal in India's victory.

However, according to 'Herald Sun', "Crosswhite confirmed that a washing machine was thrown off the eighth floor of an Australian residential tower in the athletes' village."

But, Crosswhite said he would be surprised if it was an Australian and blamed athletes from other countries who were in the Australian building at the time of the incident.

The Delhi Police said it has not received any complaint from the Organising Committee but confirmed the rampage.

Reports the matter has been sorted out after talks between OC officials and Australian chef de mission.

It has been reported that some Aussie athletes were sent packing back home.

Aussie athlete sent home for bad behaviour - Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games News

Aussie athlete sent home for bad behaviour

An Australian athlete has been sent home from Delhi for disciplinary reasons, Australian Commonwealth Games Association boss Perry Crosswhite has revealed.

Speaking at a press conference at Delhi international airport as hundreds of members of the team were leaving India, Mr Crosswhite refused to reveal the name of the athlete sent home or the nature of their bad behavior.

"I'm not going to tell you [who it was]. It was a matter between our team and ourselves," he said.

He said the athlete was sent home "a few days ago".

Mr Crosswhite also revealed Delhi police were investigating a separate incident at the athletes' village involving a washing machine being thrown out of a multi-storey apartment.

Local media is reporting that the incident at the athletes' village was sparked after the Australian cricket team lost its second Test match against India.

"Enraged by the humiliating loss some athletes, according to highly placed sources in Delhi police, went berserk, destroying electrical fittings and furniture in their tower in the Games village on Tuesday and Wednesday," the Times of India said in a front page story.

Asked to explain the incident, Mr Crosswhite said there was an issue involving a washing machine.

"A washing machine was pushed off a level and went to the ground - a few storeys up," he said.

He said Delhi police had come to the athletes' village and are undertaking an investigation.

"I have my doubts that we did it; there were reports of other athletes from other countries in our residence at the time," he said.

Aussie Games trashing 'disappointing'

AN AUSTRALIAN athlete was sent home from the Commonwealth Games for bad behaviour this week and a washing machine was dropped from a balcony in Australia's section of the athlete's village after the closing celebrations.

No one was injured by the washing machine but Perry Crosswhite, Australia Commonwealth Games Association Chief Executive, said he was was disappointed by the incident on Thursday night.
We don't know who did that," Mr Crosswhite told journalists today.

"Delhi police came around and they've done a report and an investigation and we'll hear about that."

Mr Crosswhite was not sure from which level of the 10-storey building the machine was dropped.
He also revealed that one athlete was sent home a few days ago for bad behaviour but would not reveal the person's identity.

"At the end of the Games these things happen," Crosswhite said.
"When everybody is finished, they are letting their hair down, they do all sorts of things.
"We just sort of manage it and get on with it."

Around 300 athletes will depart Delhi on a chartered Qantas flight later today.

The drink in Delhi is potent..does strange things to ppl.

Ah yes, the Indian media is spreading around biased lies once again.

This vandalism story is fake.

One of the articles claimed aussie athletes were lighting things on fire, that is just absurd.


They are professional athletes representing our country, they would never engage in such behavior and there is no evidence to prove it. It's obvious some indians want to rub our sporting loses in our face, so they make up stories that the athletes went on a rampage because of it.

Australians are good sports, and never engage in sporting violence.

A washing machine was thrown down stairs, but it wasn't done by any aussies. Also 1 aussie athlete was sent home for bad behaviour, but he didn't vandalize anything.

It seems Australia Vs India is becoming iconic replacing Pakistan Vs India. I find far more intensity in games between Australia Vs India than between Pakistan Vs India
