The athletes have to “refrain from gambling, betting or providing information to anybody that could use that information or attempt to manipulate a sporting event for inappropriate or illegal reasons”. No violence, sexual misbehaviour, binge drinking, vandalising, stealing or misplacing appliances like kettle from apartments at the Commonwealth Games Village, the chef de mission Vikas Sisodia has said, spelling out a comprehensive list of don’ts for Indian athletes at a meeting with the team managers of 15 disciplines on Saturday. On Saturday, when the wrestling team checked into the rooms previously occupied by the basketball teams, three kettles were missing. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, IOA secretary general Rajeev Mehta was arrested by the Glasgow police for driving without a licence and under the influence of alcohol. At the same edition, wrestling referee Virender Malik was accused of sexual assault by an employee of the hotel where he was staying.
