Rugby Australia and Football Australia are investigating allegations of “heavily intoxicated” players acting inappropriately on a Japan Airlines (JAL) flight.
Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll told
The Guardian the two football codes had said they would take full responsibility following reports of incidents involving Australian athletes during a flight from Tokyo to Sydney last Friday.
Carroll said that while the airline had made no official complaint, the behaviour of the athletes was “unacceptable”.
“It’s extremely disappointing, but both rugby and football have told me that such behaviour is certainly not acceptable within their sports and have sincerely apologised to the Australian Olympic team,” he said.
