The Unaccounted for Athletes: A Pattern of Disappearance Reports of missing athletes from Uganda and Pakistan have sparked a police investigation into the disappearance of several foreign boxers who failed to return home with their teams after the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Four members of Uganda's six member boxing team had gone AWOL, with one reportedly planning to seek asylum. A similar scenario played out for Pakistan, where one boxer missed his flight back home.
The response from authorities has been measured, with Police Scotland assuring the public that "enquiries are ongoing" and early engagement is taking place with the Home Office.
