Hosting of Olympics and the granting of the hosting by the committee is merely a farce!

It mainly is for the “Give & Take” under the table [or across the offshore compainies] amongst those who are in High-Places.

Sadly and shamefully; it is the least about promoting sports and athleticism.

Capiche?

I'd like to see Eduardo Paes , as well as the interim-Governor of Rio, who so brazenfacedly insist that everything is perfect, to drink a glass of that wonderful , crystalline water from Guanabara Bay....
