"Sports federations were ordered to lift bans already imposed on athletes cited in a damning report into state-sponsored doping in the country.Well done the IOC, two days until the start of the Olympics and chaos rules!
The International Olympic Committee issued a notice to governing bodies asking them urgently to reassess the suspensions of Russians under their jurisdiction following the revelation they had misinterpreted eligibility criteria laid down by its executive board."

Rio's Polluted Waterways - Don't Put You Head Underwater!
A 16 month long study, commissioned by The Associated Press, has concluded that the waterways of Rio de Janeiro are as filthy as ever; contaminated
with raw human sewage teeming with dangerous viruses and bacteria.
It's not just the athletes who are at risk of getting violently ill in water competitions, but the AP's tests indicate that tourists also face potentially serious health risks on the golden beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana.
Experts have advised athletes who compete in the water not to put their heads under the water. That advice sounds equally applicable to all no athletes who find themselves in the water.

Rio Olympic Village is a Shithole
With less than two weeks until the start of the Rio Olympics, the Guardian reports that 19 of the 31 buildings in the Athletes Village have yet to pass safety tests.
Concerns have been heightened by gas and water leaks and at least one power outage. The Guardian has also learned that a short circuit caused a small fire on Saturday.
The shoddy conditions – which include flooded floors, broken elevators, mould and holes in the ceiling – have shocked some team managers, athletes and volunteers who have begun arriving.
The organisers promise to resolve the problems by Thursday, but in the interim the Australian team has decided to temporarily rehouse its athletes.
Stress tests – which should have been done months ago – are still less than halfway complete because the 17-storey buildings were delivered behind schedule and the water, gas and electricity were only recently connected.
This does not bode well for the Games!
