There’s another doping scandal brewing at the Rio Olympics and this time it has nothing to do with Russia. Drug dealers in the city have started peddling cocaine in Olympic packaging, HuffPost Brasil reports. Homicides in Rio were up 15 percent in the first four months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The package features the Rio Olympic logo, the five Olympic rings and some helpful instructions: “Keep away from children.”Police discovered the Olympic-branded cocaine baggies on Monday night among a cache of 93 bags of the stuff that they seized earlier that evening in the tourist-friendly neighborhood of Lapa, according to Brazil’s Globo newspaper. “This place is well and truly [messed up] in every sense of the word imaginable.”
