Hey! It's what we train for (snicker)

Thousands of condoms have clogged plumbing at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi after amorous athletes flushed them down toilets, according to Indian media. The headline of India's Mail Today newspaper read Thursday: "It's a Rubbery Problem."

Condoms have been supplied to athletes for free, as part of a program to promote safe sex that first began at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. A vending machine stocked with 4,000 packs of condoms, with two prophylactics in each pack, is installed at the athletes' village, which houses more than 7,000 athletes and officials from around the world. Half of the condoms have already been taken, the Mail Today reported.

Asked about the sewer blockages and their alleged source, Mike Fennell, president of the Commonwealth Games Federation, told a news conference Thursday that plumbers are working on the problem, but that he thinks it's good if athletes are practicing safe sex.

"It shows there is some use of condoms and that is a very positive story that the athletes are being responsible," Fennell said to a room of snickering reporters, according to New Zealand television. "I hope that satisfies your question."
