Being held in a country in what seems is in relative turmoil. Do you think it will be a success or will flounder.
This disease problem and other issues must be worrying , although many of Brazil's problems were well hidden during the recent world cup.

Because it's had a recent world cup then it should still be in the swing of things but haven't given it any thought until you mentioned it.

The Olympics seem to be going under the radar , but I guess it will be ramped up nearer the time.

I've not followed it at all, and I even had to google to see when the games were. I'm looking forward to a little break from football, and might watch it, but as I've gotten older my interest in it has dwindled I admit.

OOOOPS
Some 31 athletes are facing a ban from the Rio Olympics after testing positive for doping.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said that disciplinary proceedings have been opened against unidentified athletes from 12 countries after samples from the Beijing 2008 games were retested - and hundreds of results are still to come from London 2012 athletes.
The retests took place to prevent anyone involved in doping from competing at the Rio games later this year.
