One of the athletes from the Cuban baseball team taking part in the Women’s World Cup of baseball in Edmonton has disappeared, and many believe she may have defected.
The player vanished overnight from Lister Hall, a residence at the University of Alberta, where teams participating in the World Cup are staying.
The Chairman of the Edmonton International Baseball Federation says he’s disappointed to hear the news, but not surprised.
“We can’t lock them up in their rooms,†says Ron Hayter.
“We just have to rely on the fact that they're here to play baseball and in this case, they decided they had a different priority."
