The Olympic Games in Paris are ongoing and full of controversies. Athletes are complaining about the level of organisation, the food, and the village where they are staying.

The Olympic Games in Paris are ongoing and slowly coming to an end. The biggest sporting event, held every four years, is full of controversies. Athletes on social media are complaining about the level of organisation. They also emphasise that the conditions in the village where they spend most of their time are really low. The controversies don’t end there. On Wednesday, 7 August, the media reported that an athlete from Australia was allegedly buying cocaine.

When we think of athletes, we immediately picture incredible sportspeople who live under tremendous discipline. They don’t drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and certainly don’t do drugs. Unfortunately, it turns out that people who should be role models for sports enthusiasts are not perfect. However, no one expects that anyone at the Olympic Games could be suspected of using drugs.

Shocking information reached us on Wednesday, 7 August. The Australian Olympic Committee reported it. It turned out that one of the hockey players from their national team was detained by French police. The officers said he was caught red-handed in the ninth district of the French capital. What he was doing shocked the world. He was allegedly buying cocaine. The Australian Olympic Committee did not disclose the athlete's identity. However, they stated that they are investigating the matter and supporting the athlete.

It is unknown whether the athlete’s identity will be revealed or remain a secret. Additionally, no official information is being provided by the police. However, it is worth noting that if these reports are confirmed, it will undoubtedly be very shocking and alarming.
