First, they have an Aussie ex-stripper choreographing some erotic pole dancing segment at the opening ceremony. Now they are handing out condoms at the village medical centre for kids to have sex. Both Vivian Balakrishnan and Teo Ser Luck are certainly doing Singapore proud.

Condoms provided at Youth Olympic Village's medical clinic by UNAIDS

SINGAPORE: Condoms will be made available to officials and athletes of the Youth Olympic Games (YOG).

It'll only be available at the medical clinic of the Youth Olympic Village (YOV).

In a written statement, the organisers said: "The Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee and the International Olympic Committee had jointly agreed not to widely distribute condoms in YOV or any YOG venues on the basis that the athletes are minors."

The condoms are provided by UNAIDS - the Joint United Nations Programmes on HIV and Aids.

"We have to be mindful that the athletes coming to the Youth Olympic Games are minors and in accordance to Singapore's law, the age of consent for sexual activity is 16 and allowing free distribution of condoms within the Youth Olympic Village may be misconstrued by the young athletes," said the organisers.

Providing condoms at other Olympic events is not unusual.

Some reports say in the Beijing Olympics, 100,000 condoms were made available.

it's not unusual if they are consenting adults.
but that's usually for people above 18. or in some cases, 21 above.

Officials above 18 or 21, no issue.

YOG is meant for athletes 14-18. that will be a problem.

The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) are planned to be an international multi-sport event held every four years in staggered summer and winter events consistent with the current Olympic Games format.[1] The Youth Olympic Games will feature athletes between the ages of 14 and 18
