澳大利亚游泳运动员Isaac Cooper在英联邦运动会期间因缺席最后一晚比赛和团队会议而自动辞去运动员领导小组职位。[1]据知情人士透露，Cooper当时在格拉斯哥饮酒，而他的队友正在Tollcross国际游泳中心参赛。[1]澳大利亚游泳队表示，"Isaac未能出席格拉斯哥最后一晚的游泳比赛或最终团队会议，这与团队期望不符"。[1]
两届奥运选手、专攻仰泳项目的Cooper并未被遣返，但澳大利亚游泳队表示将在赴美参加泛太平洋锦标赛期间密切监控他。[1]该锦标赛将于8月12日在欧文开始。[1]这是Cooper四年来的第二次问题——他在2022年曾因给队友分发处方药而被遣返。[1]
Isaac Cooper, a two-time Olympic backstroke specialist, has relinquished his position in the athlete leadership group after missing the final night of competition and a team meeting at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow [1]. The Australian swimmer was drinking in the city while his teammates competed at Tollcross International Swimming Centre [1].
Swimming Australia stated that "Isaac failed to attend the final night of swimming competition in Glasgow or the final team meeting, which does not align with team expectations" [1]. Cooper voluntarily resigned from his leadership role, and while the organization opted not to repatriate him, it will maintain close monitoring of the athlete during the upcoming Pan Pacific Championships beginning August 12 in Irvine [1]. This marks the second disciplinary issue for Cooper in four years; he was previously sent home in 2022 for distributing prescription medication to teammates [1].
