Commonwealth Games move ruled out

The head of the Commonwealth Games has rejected any suggestion the 2010 event will be switched from Delhi as a result of fears about security in the region. Tuesday's terror attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan has prompted further questions about Delhi's ability to stage the Games. But Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) boss Michael Hooper said Delhi would do whatever is required to ensure safety. "There is no plan B, the Games will be here, that's the reality," he said. "The Games are 20 months away and no other city, no matter how good its infrastructure, could manage to stage an event of this magnitude in the time now available. "There has never been any discussion whatsoever about shifting the Games. The Games will be in Delhi in 2010."
