ABSTRACT

The 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi were clouded by allegations of mismanagement and corruption. There was extensive media coverage of building delays, subpar amenities, and claims of financial problems. Inflated expenses, dubious contracts, and instances of procurement favouritism were also reported. The controversy prompted inquiries from India’s major law enforcement organisations, such as the CBI, and led to lawsuits being brought against the implicated officials and contractors. The controversy surrounding the 2010 Commonwealth Games brought attention to the problem of corruption and the lack of openness surrounding the planning and execution of large sporting events, even if there were no overt frauds recorded in the traditional sense.
