Disgraceful!

It's happened again. The inevitable thing that few of our athletes would flee away while participating in a game did not change this time also in Melbourne. One of them disappeared from the camp.

However, another athlete disgraced the nation further. He was arrested and fined by the Australian police on charge of sexually assaulting an Australian girl. This is the worst humiliation our players have ever brought for the nation.

We never questioned the performance of our players in a game. But we expect a sporting attitude from them. In contrast, they bring bad name for the country. The Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) has to take the responsibility for this.
