It's Clear that the Rio Games Have To Be Cancelled, Part MMMDCCLXVIII

Late development on the WADA front, and this does not have anything to do with the Russians specifically:

Deadspin reports tonight that WADA has "reinstated" the drug facility which is SUPPOSED TO be the testing facility for the Rio Games starting in two weeks.

A month ago, WADA pulled the accreditation to the "Brazilian Doping Control Laboratory", but never said why.

Whatever the issue was, it has been declared cleaned up.

They really had no choice:  The only other two options would be for the competition to go without testing, or for all samples to go to the nearest accreditated lab...

... in Bogota, Colombia!

... which itself was suspended three years ago.
