Olympic organizers suspect 'isolated' sabotage at village


RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) " Sabotage by unhappy workers may have caused water and gas leaks, blocked toilets and electrical faults that slowed teams from moving into the athletes' village, Rio Olympic organizers said Thursday. "We are considering isolated cases, but we haven't seen enough to say it was an organized sabotage thing," Rio spokesman Mario Andrada said. Rio organizers said 1,129 athletes and 2,449 staff members would be living in the village on Thursday. But the slipshod construction is the first problem directly touching many teams and athletes. "We might get fined, but not that amount, and we have 10 days to show the documents," Andrada said.
