Australians amazed by CWG security, sports facilities

Published>Sat, Oct 02 10 01:46 PM

New Delhi, oct.2 (ANI): On the eve of the Commonwealth Games praise for the security arrangments and sports facilties are coming from the most unexpected quarters.

Harelle Mcmohan, the flag bearer of the Australian contingent in the Commonwealth Games, was full of praise for the arrangements at the Games Village, where she has been staying for almost a week now.

Hareelle is Australia's netball captain and a dual Commonwealth Games gold medalist. She has been extra cautious about keeping mosquitoes away at the Games village.

However, the large presence of security forces is making the Aussie sports star nervous.

Talking to reporters at a Australian High Commission reception, she said: "It is obviously a bit different to what we are used to and disconcerting. I mean, on our bus, we have got armed guards, and in the front and in the back when we go anywhere. It is certainly different, but they have been great, they are great to talk to. I think it's a part of the Games here, and as an athlete going into training, I have had no problems and I feel very secure."

"It is certainly a different experience here. We could not remember seeing any machine gun in Melbourne. We are in Delhi for the second time. Earlier, it was a different, we were staying in a hotel and could walk around freely," McMahon said.

Many other players of the huge Australian contingent share the same sense of security in Delhi, but are miffed over restricted movement. Security measures are so stringent, that Australia's Sports Minister Mark Abib was also frisked at the Games Village.

It maybe recalled that Australia had expressed serious apprehensions about the security of the Commonwealth Games and Prime Minister Julia Gillard had even issued a strongly worded advisory that stated there is a high risk of terrorism in New Delhi and that since 2000, there have been at least 14 major terrorist attacks in New Delhi. She even said that attending the Commonwealth Games was a matter for individuals as they considered the government's travel advisory.

The Aussies have also given their thumbs up to the sports facilities.

"My experience is that these are outstanding facilities. I was here in March when I went to the National Stadium, where the World Cup (hockey) was held. Two of our major players said it was one of the best stadiums (stadia) for hockey. So far, I have been out to the Gymnastics arena, the wrestling and the cycling velodrome, and they are quite amazing, said." McMohan. By Naveen Kapoor (ANI)

'Delusional' husband accuses wife of having affair with Beckham

Published>Sat, Oct 02 10 12:36 PM

London, Oct 02 (ANI): Soccer ace David Beckham has been accused of having an affair with a Hollywood jeweler to the stars.

The 35-year-old footballer was forced to deny having an illicit fling with Shery Shabani, a married mother of two.

Shabani, 33, said she was accused by her 'jealous and 'delusional' husband Kambiz of having an affair with Beckham, whose three sons attend the same school as her own son and daughter.

She claimed Beckham had told her that her husband, a 42-year-old lawyer, had tried to run the star off the road in his car outside the school in May.

She also alleged that her husband told police officers that she had slept with the former England captain after she called them out to a domestic dispute.

A friend of the Beckhams said they were 'acquaintances' of Shabani as their children attend the same exclusive 14,000 pounds-a-year Hollywood school.

The seedy accusations surfaced as part of Shabani's application for a restraining order against her husband of 12 years. She is also seeking a divorce.

"As with another recent story, this is another tale full of fantasy," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesman for Beckham as saying.

And a friend insisted: "This is becoming a clear case of victimization", adding that Beckham was 'not aware' of Shery's claim that he told her of the incident on the road.

"It's a very odd situation. Obviously, David's not complicit in this at all - and he's only learned of it today. This is all false and there's absolutely no suggestion that there is any truth in the husband's claims of an affair between David and the woman. It's all a bit bizarre to be honest," said the pal.

Shabani denies any affair in the court documents. (ANI)
