The seven, including five boxers, are suspected of having decided to stay in Europe for economic reasons, Reuters news agency reports. A reserve goalkeeper for the women's soccer team, Drusille Ngako, was the first to disappear, the agency quoted Cameroon's Olympic mission as saying.
In June, an Ethiopian torchbearer, Natnael Yemane, 15, also disappeared. He went missing from a hotel in Nottingham.

"What
began as rumour has finally turned out to be true," Team Cameroon
mission head David Ojong said, in a letter sent to the Cameroonian
sports ministry. "Seven Cameroonian athletes who participated at the
2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the Olympic Village."
Ngako was the first to disappear while her teammates left for Coventry
for their last preparatory encounter against New Zealand, he said.
Quote
Her
disappearance was followed by that of swimmer Paul Ekane Edingue and
five boxers eliminated from the games. Thomas Essomba, Christian Donfack
Adjoufack, Abdon Mewoli, Blaise Yepmou Mendouo and Serge Ambomo,
disappeared on Sunday from the Olympic village, Mr Ojong said.
