It has been a week since the curtain came down on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games but the mystery surrounding the missing four Ugandan boxers and one from Pakistan is nowhere near a resolution.
A Glasgow 2026 spokesperson said the organisers were working closely with authorities – including Police Scotland, Border Force and UK Visas & Immigration – to ensure that 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories could safely and securely participate, the newspaper reported.
The Ugandan chef de mission said there were no grounds for any members of his delegation staying back in the UK after the Games.
“It’s nothing political, it’s nothing to do with gender or something [like that] – I have absolutely no idea why they would be doing that,” Godwin Kayangwe said, before expressing hope that they would make the “right decision” and return to their country.
Acording to The Guardian, understands the four Ugandans were initially taken in by a boxing gym in Glasgow. The owner of the gym did not respond to queries about the missing boxers.
