As many athletes which were to be expected at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games have withdrawn from the games due to various reasons, it is quite possible that the value of the Commonwealth Games 2010 will be eroded a bit.
An example would be Usain Bolt who surprisingly is as popular as the Commonwealth Games itself. His addition into the games as a brand would have added a lot more value. Even though Commonwealth Games is one of the biggest games in the World after Olympics, athletes are claiming that they need to focus on “other” championships and have also pointed out security at the games as an issue.
Something interesting to note is that since the games are being held in India which has one of the largest populations in the world, I expect that the games this time are going to be a lot more popular than the previous Commonwealth Games and will negatively impact the reputation of the players who have withdrawn not only in India but also the world.

The Capello Index website displays the score by using the data of the football player’s previous matches and is regularly updated after the ending of each match, showing the performance level of the player. Fabio Capello who is England’s manager and involved in the creation of the website had faced criticism because the website displaying marks for the team’s players despite repeated requests for their removal.
The website featured Premier League’s logo without permission and offered ratings and statistics from the competition. However as the website did not had the required licenses, it would have been in violation of copyright.
It is being claimed that Capello himself was not involved in the marking of the players but there was a scientific algorithm that was actually responsible for scores that were given to the players in the index.
Nevertheless the whole event has been a PR disaster for the Football Association which has decided that Capello will not be allowed to get himself allowed in any business deals without their prior permission.

Many athletes have started withdrawing from competing at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Competitors including Olympic Champion Victoria Pendleton, Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis and many more have withdrawn from the games which are going to be held at Delhi.
Though some of the sportsmen have attributed the reason for their withdrawal is focus on other games, some have laid out there concerns on security at the Commonwealth Games 2010. Even though there would be a lot of policemen, and army personnels to prevent anything wrong from happening, these athletes believe that the games at Delhi are more vulnerable to attacks as compared to other countries where the games have been previously held.
The Commonwealth Games are expected to be one of the most expensive commonwealth games ever and news regarding withdrawal of players can not only undermine the value of the games but also affect the exposure that the country expects through the games.
