The common practice to give free condoms to Olympic athletes since 1992 has never been a problem until now in Delhi, New India. Officials reported that four thousand condoms were distribte from the in-house vending machines since the start of the Commonwealth games. However, this unexpectedly have given rise to a exceptional plumbing problem that led to odorous, clogged drains. This was the most recent woe following the previous problem with a massive diarrhoea outbreak among many atheletes residing in the athletic village that houses seven-thousand people, which was due to unsanitary conditions.
Because the drains were blocked by thousands of condoms, the atheletes had no choice but to go elsewhere to execute their routine bodily functions. Game organizers are working on a solution to clear the drains, which are technologically dated and ill-maintained. Seeking to shine a positive light on the problem, top official of the games, Mike Fennell, said that the excessive amount of condoms clogging the drains is a good sign that people are taking preventive measures against sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Due to this and many other problems, such as various technical difficulties, inadequate transport, food shortage, and bad overall organization of the games in India, spectators began dwindling in number despite reassurances from organizers claiming that there'll be full seating.
