Considering the condoms nearly clogged an entire drainage system, I'd say that's a LOT of condoms. The more astounding thing? That this all happened in ONE WEEK. Wow, athletes are really good at sexing it up. Apparently, thousands of flushed condoms threatened to choke the Commonwealth Games village's drainage system in New Delhi. What's even more interesting? These statistics:
Following a decision to provide free condoms at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, it has become something of a tradition. At the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, athletes quickly used up the 70,000 free condoms provided, forcing organizers to supply another 20,000, while at the 2004 Games in Athens, the provision was doubled to 130,000.
At both the Beijing Games in 2008, and the Vancouver Winter Olympics in February, 100,000 condoms were provided for athletes.
