Angry Australians told Cameroonian boxer Simplice Fotsala, that he should go back to his country, the Daily Mail reported.
The 29-year-old escaped from the Commonwealth Village late at night, but in April he appeared in a series of photos taken in Melbourne.
Fotsala thumbs up and grins in front of a series of landmark buildings, including the, Seafarers Bridge and Morang railway stations.
The photos were soon seen by local Facebook users who told Fotsala, they wanted him back in Africa.
"it's not good, it's not wise, and it's not brave," wrote one angry Australian. There are thousands of people in line here who want to come to Australia legally. What you did was wrong! The cut-in is wrong, and government's response is completely wrong! "
While some netizens still maintain the athlete, others say Fotsala should be repatriated.
Some people responded: "they come with bad ideas." They lied about what they had come to Australia for, and they should be sent back immediately. And their country should be banned from participating in any overseas event. "
Another Facebook user replied under Fotsala's photo: "go back to your country, you're staying here illegally."
"We don't want or need you here," the netizens said.
Another netizen said he could stay if Fotsala represented Australia. "you never showed up for the competition, and if you want to represent Australia, then you can do it."
Fotsala's countrymen were more appreciative of his behavior. The photo also attracted a lot of French comments, congratulating him.
More than 250 Commonwealth Games athletes are now stranded in Australia, 50 of whom are missing, 190 have applied for refugee status and the rest have applied for other visas, it is reported.
It is not known whether Fotsala has submitted an application for a bridge visa.
After the games, a total of eight Cameroonian athletes, including Fotsala and weightlifters Olivier Matam and Petit David Minkoumba., refused to return home
Cabinet Minister Pete Dutton expressed his thoughts on Tuesday. He said authorities are searching for the missing athletes. "the Border Bureau is still trying, but it's hard to find if people want to hide. There's still a lot of work to do to find out where these people are, and it's definitely not easy, but they'll still show up. "
