Mutilated body washes up on Rio Olympics beach volleyball venue

[quote]Parts of a mutilated body have washed up on the sands of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro just meters from where beach volleyball athletes will compete in the upcoming Olympics.
The discovery is the latest to unnerve the city as it grapples with rising crime, a recession and exhausted state finances at a time when it hoped to be celebrating the first Olympics ever held in South America.
It was unclear Wednesday afternoon what conditions may have led to the mutilated body but a policeman standing guard by a security perimeter confirmed its existence to Reuters.
Police officials did not immediately return calls to their public affairs office for more details Wednesday afternoon.
The Olympics, which start 5 August, were intended to show off an economic boom that has since fizzled in Latin America’s biggest country. Now the Games come as the state of Rio de Janeiro awaits emergency funding of 2.9bn reais ($892m) to ensure financing for public services.
The Olympics also will play out with a backdrop of political instability as Brazil’s senate tries suspended president Dilma Rousseff, who is accused of accounting tricks in the government budget, to determine whether she will be ousted for good. The trial is expected to finish after the Games.[/quote]

It keeps getting better and better.
Just doesn't stop, does it? It's like watching a burning train barrel headling towards an oil refinery. You KNOW shit's going to get even worse.
Go Olympics go!

Ask Dilma and her propagandas on Tv saying "rio de janeiro is an amazing place"
Can we wait a couple of years until all of Rio is just Zika potato heads? At least then crime will be down.
Nothing wrong here guys. Perfectly sanitary and normal. :)

Is there a big risk of Zika spreading and people getting it from visiting Rio to see the Olympics?

Hopefully no, but probably yes.

if there is even a remote chance of that happening I don't see how a travel ban has not been put in place yet

Mother to fetus and apparently sex if Wikipedia is right.
It's only really prominent in the Americas though.

How much shit needs to happen for people to go 'maybe we should cancel it'?

that just opens up a 2024 olympics in hell
I wonder if anything would have happened, if this happened DURING the olympics. Live TV and then BAM something comes out of the water, people on TV don't know what it is and then they realize and have to cut. I feel like all of this should be taken more seriously though and Cancel or use a previous Olympic Venue.

$$$$ is the reason there isn't a travel ban I assume.
I heard the Russians athletes thrown huge party after the ban on theirs access to this year Olympic games was confirmed ...
reason ? no dangers from Zika, no toxic water (trash everywhere) and health risks (superbacteria washed from rivers because hospitals/biochemistry got no sewerage plants) , no gazillion other life threatening issues
btw. I heard somewhere that some of golf players training in there already got zika and thus many of the hi profile golf stars already cancelled
Sunken cost is a hell of a fallacy.
I hope ISIS doesn't come here to make the situation worse.
