Members of the Australian Olympic men's soccer and rugby seven's teams are facing investigations into unruly behavior on their flight home from
Tokyo, following a written complaint by
Japan Airlines Co. to the
Australian Olympic Committee.
The two teams were allegedly involved in hours of rowdy and drunken antics on the 10-hour return flight from
Tokyo to
Sydney-based
The Daily Telegraph said on Wednesday.
According to the report, other passengers on the flight said some of the players refused to follow instructions by airline staff to sit down and allegedly raided alcohol stored in the galley of the plane, despite pleas by the airline staff not to do so. In addition, one passenger reported that several athletes began vomiting, and one of the plane's nearby toilets was "wasted."
