“The seven missing in London. That’s what the headlines in the West African nation of Cameroon call the athletes who walked away from the Olympic village at the London Games. While the Cameroon Olympic delegation has stopped short of saying the athletes planned to defect, at least one member of the country’s national Olympic committee believes it’s more than likely. Since the 1996 Games in Atlanta, dozens of athletes from Cameroon have defected. Cameroon, with a population of about 20 million, is one of the world’s poorest nations, according to the International Monetary Fund.”
