RIO DE JANEIRO: The equestrian events for next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro might have to take place outside Brazil, the head of the country’s equestrian confederation has warned.

Luiz Roberto Giugni blasted the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry for delays in issuing the documentation needed to allow horses brought into Brazil from Europe, the US and Canada to enter and leave the country.

“If the problem is not resolved by the end of the month, we run the risk of not having the event in Brazil,” Guigni said.
