They had all already been eliminated from the games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0807_Thomas-Essomba-subasset-getty\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/08/07/0807-thomas-essomba-subasset-getty-2.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not the first time Cameroon athletes have disappeared during international sports competitions -- several quit their delegation without consent at the recent Francophonie and Commonwealth games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Britain's Home Office -- the department responsible for immigration -- wouldn't comment on whether any of the seven had applied for asylum."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
