Several athletes have gone missing during and after the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, which concluded on August 2nd. Authorities are investigating reports that five boxers from Uganda and Pakistan are currently unaccounted for. While the official number of missing athletes hasn’t been released, police confirm they are working with relevant organizations to gather information. Notably, four members of the Ugandan boxing team did not join their colleagues for their return journey home. Reports suggest at least one athlete has applied for asylum in Scotland, a pattern observed in previous Games. Authorities are collaborating with the Home Office to address the situation, following standard procedures that allow athletes 48 hours after competition to leave the country, but are cautious about releasing personal details. Similar incidents occurred at the 2018 and 2014 Games, with numerous athletes seeking asylum or simply disappearing.
