International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice president John Coates has called Brazil's preparations for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games
"the worst" he has ever seen and critically behind schedule.
Attending an Olympic forum in Sydney, Coates told delegates that construction
had not commenced on some venues, infrastructure was significantly
delayed and water quality was also a major concern two years out from
the Games.
He warned, however, that there was no "plan B" to find another host.
"I think this is a worse
situation than Athens," said the Australian, referring to preparations
for the 2004 Games, which were plagued by construction delays.
