Olympic athlete Alberto Fernandez, returning from the World Cup Final in New Delhi where he won the trap gold medal, tweeted late Monday that they were allowed to board a flight home today, two days after they were stopped.
The Spanish shooting federation said they were stopped at Abu Dhabi airport, where they arrived on Sunday for a connecting flight after competing in India.
The federation said it worked with the Spanish embassy in the UAE, as well as government officials in Spain, to solve the problem.
