Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes said it was “a shame” that his city is hosting the 2016 Summer Olympics because the country lacks a sports policy.
“It is a shame that Brazil is hosting the Olympic Games (…) We must handle the legacy of the Olympics in the city.
“It is up to the federal government to create a federal policy,” he said in an interview to be aired in full on the ESPN channel Friday.
