Aussie Olympians In Hot Water Over Rowdy Flight Home

A group of Aussie Olympians are awaiting disciplinary action after behaving poorly on a flight home from Tokyo.

The Rugby sevens and soccer players allegedly were taking part in unruly behaviour resulting in one of the players drinking too much and vomiting in the airplane toilet.  

This one player's actions meant the toilet could no longer be used by other passengers for a duration of the flight.

Japan Airlines made complaints regarding the athletes behaviour which included wandering the aisles while drinking, refusing to listen to airline staff and not wearing masks.

Australian Olympic team chef de mission Ian Chesterman said investigations are underway to find out who exactly was involved in the incident.

“The specifics of who is involved, we still don’t know,” he said.

“They did have excessive alcohol consumption.

Australian Olympic Committee chief executive Matt Carroll told channel seven the AOC expected more from their athletes.

“There were other Australians returning on that flight ... it’s not the standard the Australian Olympic Committee expects and not the standard the sports expect too,” he said.

Mr Carroll also said there were "nine sports involved" and that they know "what happened" but not who was involved.

The news of the rowdy flight comes as rooms occupied by Australian rowers and rugby players at the athletes were found in disgraceful conditions with a hole in one of the walls.
