Brazil Votes To Impeach President

The ongoing clusterfuck that is battering Brazil (due to host the 2016 Olympics) shows no sign of abating.

As per the BBC Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has suffered a blow to her hopes of staving off impeachment proceedings, after a committee voted they should go ahead.

The 65-member congressional committee voted 38 to 27 to recommend impeachment over claims she manipulated government accounts to hide a growing deficit.

Will the country be functioning in any coordinated manner by the time the Olympics begin?

Will Brazil Host The 2016 Olympics?

Given the political, economic and health chaos that is currently engulfing Brazil it does not need any more problems in order to put its hosting of the 2016 Olympics in doubt.

Step forward George Hilton, Brazil’s sports minister, who has just announced that he is resigning four months before the country hosts the Olympics.

What more can go wrong?

Plenty!

Russian Athletics Foundation Suspended From The Olympics

Russia's athletics federation has been provisionally suspended from international competition (including the Olympic Games) for its alleged involvement in widespread doping.

It should be noted that Russian athletes aren't the only ones who have used drugs to enhance their performance, and it should be noted that the USA has worked hard to isolate Russia economically and diplomatically from the world.

The Great Olympic Doping Scandal

Russia says complied with WADA norms, open for cooperation on doping: https://t.co/up6yYydtD9 pic.twitter.com/7wpjA8ZoX3

— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) November 10, 2015

With calls by WADA to ban Russian athletes from the 2016 Olympics, because of widespread doping of their athletes in the 2012 Olympics, Russia has responded that it followed the norms.

Whatever the truth or otherwise of this, it ought to be remembered that the calls for banning Russia come at a time when the USA and Russia are squaring up to each other in the Middle East and in Ukraine. The USA has sought to isolate Russia diplomatically and financially from global affairs, yet has thus far failed.

A cynic might opine that this is but the latest attempt by the USA, albeit by the backdoor, to bring Russia to heel. After all, it's not as though Russia is the only country that has doped athletes and sportsmen!
