Amateur boxer Damien Hooper allegedly dropped pants at Delhi Commonwealth Games

From: The Sunday Mail (Qld) October 17, 2010 1:51AM

The Daily Telegraph

*Boxer sent home over alleged indiscretion
*Will challenge any penalty over incident
*Boxing Australia says it was a "mistake"


AUSTRALIA'S best amateur boxer, who hails from Queensland, was sent home early from the Delhi Commonwealth Games after an alleged indiscretion in front of an official.

Gold medal favourite Damien Hooper, 18, who competed in the middleweight division but lost in the quarter-finals, was sent back to Australia a week early over the incident, a senior boxing official confirmed.

Hooper said yesterday: "I'm happy to talk about boxing, but nothing else. Please don't ask me to comment about anything else."

It is understood Hooper, originally from Dalby and now at Canberra's Australian Institute of Sport, will challenge any penalty issued over the incident.

Boxing Queensland's Allen Nicolson said Hooper had had a difficult upbringing and it would be a shame if the incident tarnished a promising career.

"Perhaps he did step out of line in some way ... but it was a little mistake," Nicolson said.

"I know the kid, and it's not the type of thing you would expect him to do.

"Kids do all that – dropping their daks – but because it's India, it's considered trouble.

"He could have been going to the loo. At 18, he's not exactly a dirty old man. Damien, don't worry about it. You won't go to prison for it."

Australian Commonwealth Games Association chief executive Perry Crosswhite said an athlete had been sent home for bad behaviour, but would not say if alcohol was a factor.

End-of-competition celebrations always resulted in a few unfortunate incidents, he said. "When everybody's finished, they're letting their hair down. They do all sorts of things."

Nicolson said Hooper had shown great determination in getting to the Commonwealth Games.

"He had a hell of an upbringing. That kid has shown a lot of grit to be there," he said.

"I can honestly say we've had a very bad Commonwealth Games in terms of boxing.

"I'm sure all the boxers would have been in a very depressed state after the boxing. Damien was only just beaten."

In Australia's worst Commonwealth Games boxing performance in 37 years, our boxers failed to win a medal.

In separate act of bad behaviour, an Australian athlete was accused of hurling a washing machine over an eighth-floor balcony in the athletes' village during the early hours of Friday.

No one was hurt in the incident, alleged to have occurred about 4am during a large party attended by athletes from several nations.

Athletes returning to Sydney today said a female wrestler had been responsible, but Wrestling Australia president John Saul said all members of Australia's wrestling team had been asleep at the time.

funny ****here we were worried about New Delhis suitability to host the games,our athletes safety from terrorists etc.and it was us who terrorised the Indians.flipping judges the bird on 2 occasions,chucking brown eyes and tossing washing machines out of windows.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Aussie,Aussie,Aussie,oi,oi,oi:happy:happy:happy

 

aparently some of the athletes were pissed off that we lost the cricket to india (2nd test) and threw the washer out the window.

we got them back in the mens hockey though!!! 8-0 !! hockey is indias 2nd biggest sport behind cricket. they have won more mens hockey commonwealth games gold than any other country (as far as im aware).

Haha when I heard that an athlete got sent home early I thought to myself I bet it was that Damien Hooper. No bull****!
