Rio 2016 : worst in Games history?

>Anti-doping at the Rio Olympics was branded the “worst” ever at a Games on Wednesday night after the process of sample collection was compromised by a wave of no-shows and walkouts by volunteers and testers, as well as a series of security lapses.

>The integrity of the entire process was under threat due to major staff shortages, with barely half the volunteers recruited to help run the event reporting for duty and several doping control officers drafted in from overseas walking out after being pushed to breaking point trying to fill the void.

>Organisers also admitted that unauthorised individuals had gained access to restricted areas during the drug-testing process, although they denied failing to ensure that anti-doping at the Games was beyond reproach.

>One senior figure in the war on drugs with experience of several major events said of the sample-collection system in Rio: “This is by far the worst I’ve seen.”

>One source said that only “very resourceful” doping control officers from countries such as the UK had prevented the integrity of sample collection being compromised.

>Another said large numbers of volunteers had picked up their uniforms at the start of the Games never to return, with others reporting for duty each day only to “walk out after being served their free meal”.

>The director of communications for Rio 2016, Mario Andrada, said he had no knowledge of any problems caused by staffing shortages but did admit volunteers had allowed security lapses to occur during doping control at certain venues.

>Rio 2016 admitted that of its 56,000 volunteers – reduced from a planned 70,000 due to budget cuts – only around 70 per cent had reported for duty. Unpaid workers are vital to the successful operation of the sample-collection process at a major event like the Olympics, at which around 5,000 drugs tests will be carried out.

>The IOC did not respond to requests for comment prior to publication.

>Brazilians giving up before even starting
Are you just going to stand by and let them take your national pastime like that?

This is just depressing and hilarious.
I wonder if Brazilian Government will bitch and moan about that one Simpsons episode

topkek

What did they think was going to happen? Didn't the planners look at where they would be getting their volunteers from and say "hmm, you know what, a lot of these people probably aren't going to actually stick around for more than the free stuff we give them, they're going to take it and run"?

It would be like asking 56,000 africans to stick around and work after giving them a free set of clothes and a meal. Of course they aren't going to stick around and work, why would they? They already have what they wanted out of it.

You think that Brazilians and other subhumans have the level of abstract thought necessary for things like duty, promises, honour, charity, work ethic etc?

The organisers only have themselves to blame.

>volunteers

Shieeeeet

No different from any other Olympics in terms of doping

They're just doing a piss poor job of hiding it there in Rio

Women's volleyball right now. Brazilian woman. Moustache is thick af. Those germans looking like the ubermensch too

This.
Not that it makes this hellhole any better though.

Germans win the gold in 2 sets

Are you telling me those bears lifting 250 kg over their head aren't on drugs?

>large numbers of volunteers had picked up their uniforms at the start of the Games never to return, with others reporting for duty each day only to “walk out after being served their free meal”

Brazil is a mulatto country by at least one third. That means lowered standards for everything. And a childish behavior hard to understand, random violence and chimpouts. Yes, sometimes you can get some fun out of this, but most of the time you will see only 20% of people doing all the valuable job. The others just can't do any job or understand responsability.

Women's superheavyweight weightlifting is truly a spectacle to behold

>The organisers only have themselves to blame.
That what I think
The IOC should have known better
That disaster could be foreseen
A bit like giving a loaded gun to a monkey and letting it loose in a crowd

>Rio Olympics 2016: After 'worst ever' preparations, Games now 'most difficult'

>The International Olympic Committee's outspoken Australian vice-president once dubbed Rio de Janeiro's Olympic preparations the "worst ever".

>Now, John Coates has a new take, and it's one that - once again - Rio 2016 organisers likely won't appreciate.

>"It's been very difficult, the most difficult Games we have ever encountered in terms of political and economic background,"

>"Seven years ago when they (Rio) were selected, they were on the verge of being a top five GDP nation in the world. They're 74th now and it's been a struggle," Coates, who is also president of the Australian Olympic Committee, said.

>The Games are unpopular with Brazilians, at a time when the economy is in crisis. In June, Rio de Janeiro's state government announced a "state of calamity", unable to afford security for the Games as public servants - including police - went months without pay.

>Rio's notorious street crime has targeted foreigners, with athletes and diplomats among those mugged at knifepoint during the Games.

> A media bus was attacked near the Olympic Park earlier in the week, with three people injured after windows were smashed by what officials say were rocks, although journalists on board the bus were convinced they were gunshots.

>A stray bullet flew into the media centre at the equestrian venue, narrowly missing a Kiwi official, and a second bullet was found at the same venue on Thursday.

>Why Brazilians can’t help booing anything and everyone at the Olympics

>It didn’t take long for the Brazilians to rewrite the norms of Olympic fandom.

>The list of Olympic participants targeted by Brazilian boos is long and varied: Russians, due to its doping scandal; Spaniards, as symbols of Latin American colonialism; a tennis ball boy who had butterfingers; favorites—like the poor Romanian women’s handball team—when they played the underdogs; and, of course, anyone from Brazil’s historic rival Argentina, who probably get the worst of it.

>Pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie was booed by the Rio fans—twice in 24 hours—to the point he was in floods of tears on the podium, leading the International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach to take the unprecedented step of saying the crowd’s antics were “unacceptable at the Olympics.”

>The fans were so boisterous at a beach volleyball game between the Brazilian and Czech teams that the public address announcer had to repeatedly admonish them against booing the visitors.

>A normally staid air-pistol event almost turned into a melee when unruly Brazilian fans tried rattling the concentration of foreigners as they pulled the trigger.

>At a tennis match where fans heckled the player from Argentina, there was a scuffle in the stands —perhaps the first ever case of tennis hooliganism.

>While the weightlifters were pictures of concentration as they crouched over their bars, the low roar from the stands never diminished.

>The seemingly oblivious Brazilian rooters were shooting selfies, gobbling up concession stand snacks and engaging unashamedly in public displays of affection. At one point, when the noise seemed to be distracting a Ukrainian lifter, a group of Ukrainian fans, who looked as pumped up as some of the participants, brusquely told some nearby Brazilians to knock it off.

>In another arena, Australia and Malaysia were doing battle in badminton. For reasons that weren’t clear, a large contingent of Brazilians had adopted the Australian cause that night—more loudly than the Aussies themselves.

>Sometimes, the fans just seemed to make noise for its own sake. At one point during a ping-pong event, a cheer went up incongruously in the middle of a long volley. It turned out fans were applauding a slender fellow in a track suit who happened to be sauntering past the bleachers.

>The German tennis player Dustin Brown, who was getting booed while competing against Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci, actually seemed to relish the villain’s role, egging the hostile crowd on.

>Chinese table tennis player Zhang Jike put his index finger to his lips to quiet the fans (link in Portuguese).

>Of course, that only made the jeering worse.

5000 drugs tests, that could be 5000 blood, urine and sputum samples. Literally nothing. How could they fuck up
So bad? A single phlebotomist could take more than 50 blood samples a day. That means you could have an effective anti-doping team made up of less than 100 people. Why would you even need volunteers?

>worst in Games history

You have to understand that a butthurt frog's opinion isn't the same as the rest of the world's.

maybe if your people weren't acting like a bunch of fucking animals they wouldn't have that opinion

none of the medias I quoted are French medias or medias in French
I you cared about reading the articles, you'd realise that
But you're a lazy people

It really was. This year's olympics has proven irrevocably everything that Sup Forums has ever said about your third world shithole of a country.

at least we were able to bring the games to a third world shit tier country like brazil in the name of globalism

Brazil, don't lie to the europeans, here we know all the shit you hide

>all the shit you hide
Yes, it's called Uruguay.

We also have to hide other irrelevant drug-ridden latino countries, like Venezuela and Paraguay.

cmon now brazil is literally one of the biggest shit stains in the world that everyone tries to turn their eyes away from

You foreign cucks have to understand one thing, once and for all:

You are not welcome. You were never welcome.
We really don't give a shit about what countries that always despised us think. We only wanted your money, these funnyless event was nothing but a big lure for you faggots.
Damn, brazilian people never cared about the olympics, except soccer. We also never cared about your or your safety. Get real, bring cash, no one gives a fuck about your internet whining.
No brazilian ever wanted a fucking expensive event here for the first place.

And then years later WADA will cry about doping "suddenly" found in samples. Also, consider the following: people can lose their medal here and now only because they couldn't properly organize process of sample collection.

>lives in one of the most resource rich areas of the planet
>insists on living a shit life, begging and stealing toilet-paper money

well we cant just nuke brazil now can we?

>dude weed lmao its current year
>nuking someone
Don't you have some gay parade to join in?

What makes me sad is that race mixing will turn every country in the world into a mini-Brazil. As whites become a minority the social trust that makes a country function is gone and standards are irrevocably lowered as the country starts malfunctioning.

Only Asia will survive intact, unbesmirched by Cultural Marxism.

lol naw m8 this is by far the worst games in history.

north Korea would have done a better job then you illiterate rape monkeys

The monkey police are holding two of our swimmers captive. Can we please invade these fags?

SJW-esque explanation of the week:

>Besides the tradition of soccer, the unruly behavior may have something to do with the hard times Brazilians are currently enduring, sports sociologist Mauricio Murad told Quartz.
>With Brazil’s president facing impeachment while the country endures its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the scream coming from the bleachers is a primal one, Murad says. “Brazilians need to vent right now, and I think that’s what we’re seeing in the stands at the Olympics,” he said.

So, Brazil sucks and that's the reason why Brazilians take on the rest of the World
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

then it gets worse:

>The bad behavior in the bleachers is also a consequence of Brazilians’ relatively limited interaction with the rest of the world historically, said Ronaldo Lemos, director of the Institute for Technology and Society in Rio de Janeiro.
>“The issue here is that Brazil is basically a very closed and insular country,” he said. “Brazilians do not live on a day-to-day basis with international people.”
>Having not traveled very much, he added, Brazilians may believe that their own manners are “universal.” >That is, this is how everyone behaves.

because Brazil is close minded and because its people can't check what's happening outside their country (Internet exist in Brasil and Brazil is not North Korea) they act like retards.
that's certainly something that IOC should have know before choosing Rio

Leaf BTFO

Just think

They havent even spread Zika all over the world yet

just call them niggers, geesh

Really makes you think.

Who gives a fuck about cheating. Maybe you should work harder lazy crybaby fucks

it's impressive that there wasn't any security there to lead people out. But I guess an empty stadium would look bad

you're still a stupid pardo sudaca

ITT

I'm sick of the le Rio city meme

>Le city of god, tropical paradise :^)

Any other proper brazilian city would've been better, like São Paulo or Curitiba, but no, they had to choose Rio because retarded americans only know that city and they actually think it's a tropical paradise.

Rio is a meme that only foreigners fall for.

>Brazilians are savages and are incapable of understanding common courtesy
I agree with Lemos on that one

that only means something on Sup Forums
BTW keep ignoring the fact that you went at everybody

based brbrbrs

so we know most of them are cheating anyway and just found a way to beat the testing,

why bother testing? we know they're fucking drug mutated monsters anyway thats why it's entertaining

We booed the frog because he is from a Muslims country, Brazil is 99% catholic and we don't get along.

Fpbp

99% of Olympic athletes use drugs. It's the name of the game.

It's objectively safer to visit North Korea on one of those guided tours than to set foot in Brazil.

Atlanta was still worse.

What happened there?
