喀麥隆體育代表團(tuán)團(tuán)長表示，有七名該國運(yùn)動(dòng)員上周末從奧運(yùn)村消失，其中包括五名拳擊運(yùn)動(dòng)員，一名游泳運(yùn)動(dòng)員，以及一名女足隊(duì)員。這些運(yùn)動(dòng)員消失的原因尚不清楚，不過有傳言稱他們是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)原因想留在英國。他們的簽證有效期到今年11月。這位團(tuán)長稱，最先消失的是一名女足候補(bǔ)守門員，她在隊(duì)友們前往考文垂為對陣新西蘭隊(duì)做準(zhǔn)備訓(xùn)練期間離開的。緊接著離開的是一名游泳隊(duì)員和五名未能晉級的拳擊隊(duì)員。據(jù)報(bào)道，此次倫敦奧運(yùn)會期間，運(yùn)動(dòng)員消失事件已不是第一次上演了。上月有三名蘇丹運(yùn)動(dòng)員從奧運(yùn)村消失，一名已經(jīng)申請避難，另外兩名可能也會效仿。

Serge Ambomo is one of five boxers to have gone missing. |
Seven Cameroonian athletes have disappeared while in Britain for the Olympics, officials said.
David Ojong, the head of the Cameroon delegation, said five boxers, a swimmer and a female football player had been missing since the weekend.
The reason for their disappearance is not known, amid some reports that they wanted to stay in the UK for economic reasons.
Mr Ojong said the athletes had visas allowing them to stay until November.
"What began as rumor has finally turned out to be true," Mr Ojong said, in a letter sent to the Cameroonian sports ministry.
"Seven Cameroonian athletes who participated at the 2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the Olympic Village."
A reserve goalkeeper for the women's soccer team, Drusille Ngako, was the first to vanish, according to Mr Ojong.
She disappeared while her teammates left for Coventry for their last preparatory encounter against New Zealand, he said.
Her disappearance was followed by that of swimmer Paul Ekane Edingue, reportedly along with his personal belongings.
The five boxers who had been eliminated from the games disappeared from London's Olympic village on Sunday, Mr Ojong said.
They were named as Thomas Essomba, Christian Donfack Adjoufack, Abdon Mewoli, Blaise Yepmou Mendouo and Serge Ambomo.
The home office said it could not comment on whether any of the seven had sought asylum in the country, the Associated Press reports.
According to the news agency, it is not the first case of its kind, with Sudan's embassy confirming last month that three athletes had gone missing.
One had applied for asylum and the other two were expected to do so, reports AP.
