Sydney: Australia on Tuesday warned athletes planning to compete in the Commonwealth Games this April that anyone caught overstaying their visas after the event will be dealt with firmly.
The warning, two months before athletes and support staff from around the world flood to the Gold Coast for the Games, comes after scores of athletes breached their visa conditions or applied for asylum at previous major sporting events in Australia.
"Australia's reputation of being tough on border security and cancelling visas of people who don't abide by Australian laws won't be compromised," said Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton. AFP
