London: European champion Welsh hurdler Dai Greene is unhappy that several star athletes have pulled out of the Commonwealth Games, saying they would gave gone under any conditions had it been the Olympics.
Several top cyclists, including Greene's compatriot Olympic champion Geraint Thomas, star tennis players and other athletes have withdrawn from the Games due to various reasons ranging from security to health fears.
However, the Welsh 400m hurdler said he is committed to participate in the Games.
"I think a lot of people would definitely have gone out there if it was the Olympic Games. It's disappointing that some of them don't stand it in as high a regard," Greene said.
The unhealthy conditions at the Games village drew sharp criticism from the visiting delegates and it led to many more pull outs.
Team Wales has already confirmed its participation in the October 3-14 event in New Delhi.
Greene said the Welsh team is happy with the accommodation being provided to them.
