Olympic long jump hero Greg Rutherford has warned his fellow England athletes to stop partying and focus on grabbing gold at the Commonwealth Games going on in Glasgow.
Rutherford blasted his fellow stars for their rowdy antics in the athletes' village. He claimed that their wild behaviour is ruining his preparations as he bids to jump for glory on Wednesday.
Unlike the booze ban during London 2012, Glasgow's Games village is designed so athletes can let their hair down, as the 230 million pound centre includes a bar, jukebox, free condoms and cabinets filled with champagne, the Daily Star reported.
Rutherford, who won gold at London, let rip on Twitter accusing his ignorant teammates of going too far. He tweeted that being in an athletes village is great until the ignorant athletes make more noise than a herd of elephants startled in a china shop.
Rutherford added that it 'bloody' kills him and that he has the noisiest people above him with some serious big feet banging around.
Rutherford further added that he feels some people are determined to annoy every other athlete around them and that strong words would soon be said.
