  • In light of the British Government policy of maintaining sporting links with apartheid South Africa (which was subject to a general sporting boycott at the time), Bermuda did not decide until very late whether to join what was a significant boycott of the 1986 Commonwealth GamesinEdinburgh, Scotland.[1] The team took part in the Opening Ceremony but withdrew from the Games the following day.[2]
