The World Anti-doping Agency, known as WADA, has restored the license of the new drug testing laboratory in Rio De Janeiro, allowing it to operate during the next Olympic Games.

That left Rio 2016 officials facing an ignominious alternative of having to fly dozens of samples daily to Europe for testing. The brand new lab is only the second search facility in South America. It was rebuilt after the original laboratory also has lost its license before the 2014 Football World Cup, because of the obsolete equipment and incorrect results.
