Fennel warning over Dehli decision

Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell has warned there may be repercussions for the London Olympics if England opt not to send a team to Delhi in October.Last month Commonwealth Games England officials said they would make a final decision on their participation at the Games in September but currently had no major security concerns over the Delhi event.

Fennell warned that any decision to withdraw from Delhi 2010 could have a knock-on effect for London 2012. He told The Times: "I wouldn't want to go down that road, but some people will be thinking that way.

"A country that wants to host an event should think how other people will then view the security risks in their own country.

"The fact is there is always a security risk. Everybody has to make their own decisions but if you don't go (to Delhi) I suggest you don't travel anywhere in the world."
