Four Ugandan boxers vanished after the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, sparking a mystery and raising alarms about athlete disappearances at major sporting events. Angel Katushabe, Nuhu Batte, Ibrahim Khemis, and Emily Nakalema—part of a six-member team—failed to rejoin their delegation, with one anonymous boxer admitting they sought asylum in the UK to chase boxing dreams amid better training and opportunities. Police Scotland is investigating, liaising with the Home Office, as this isn’t the first time athletes have gone AWOL; over 400 foreign competitors have disappeared across the last six Commonwealth Games, including incidents in Manchester 2022 and Birmingham 2022 where athletes overstayed visas. The Home Office vows to act against immigration law breaches but won’t comment on individual asylum cases.
