.....at 1530 BST. It's not been the easiest of weeks for the Commonwealth Games - 23 labourers were injured when a bridge collapsed, a section of the ceiling in the weightlifting arena fell down, athletes have pulled out, not to mention the athletes' village, which had already been condemned by team officials as "filthy" and "unfit for human occupation".

The Games start in a little over a week (3rd October) and images, obtained by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport, have shown dirty bathrooms, animal footprints on beds and exposed wiring.

Should Delhi have been awarded the Games in in the first place? Was it too much to ask of a developing nation? Or is the criticism nothing more than developed world snobbery? Some of you have raised the issue of corruption and disorganisation, while others blame India's work culture. Is that fair?
