Games organizers, who won a race against time to ready the village, are now battling to clear clogged drains after thousands of non-biodegradable contraceptives were flushed down lavatories in the first week of the event.

“If that is happening, it shows that there is use of condoms and I think that is a very positive story. Athletes are being responsible,” Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennell told a news conference on Thursday.

“We all know that encouraging safe sex is a very important thing to do.”

Games organizers had provided 8,000 free condoms in the village, and the provision appears to be in high demand. One official told the Mail Today newspaper on Thursday that over 4,000 had already been snapped up by eager athletes.
