The frank admission by Olympic gold medallist Russell Mark comes just days after the latest warning about security and terrorist attack fears at the Games in October.
He has predicted that one more incident in India would result in the Games being cancelled or relocated.
When India bid for the Commonwealth Games in 2003, the budget to upgrade facilities in New Delhi was estimated at about Rs300 crore. Now, according to various estimates, that figure oscillates between Rs10,000 crore and Rs30,000 crore.
Dame Kelly Holmes, the President of Commonwealth Games England, has admitted that it has yet to secure sufficient funding to send a full team to the Delhi Games in October. Holmes, the 2004 double Olympic gold medallist, claimed that the squad’s holding camp prior to the Games was also under threat and that lack of support was more of a concern than the ongoing security threats.
