Just when you thought it could not get any worse for the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee with all of its challenges on the eve of Rio's coming-out party this summer, the World Anti-Doping Agency suspended Brazil's Olympic Doping Control Lab that was slated to analyze athletes' urine samples for banned substances during the Games for "nonconformity" with international standards. This, in the aftermath of the unprecedented ban on Russia's track & field athletes from the 2016 Olympic Games. It remains to be seen whether the Rio lab will regain its accreditation in time for the Games or if samples will be sent to a lab outside of Brazil. Aiyayai.
