6:11Now PlayingThe Rio, Brazil Olympics are already going horribly. Muggings are rampant due to extreme poverty in the area. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Chinese athlete Shi Dongpeng fell victim to a gastrointestinal grift earlier this week shortly after arriving in Rio de Janeiro to compete in the 110-meter hurdles event, according to Inside the Games:
According to the International Sport Press Association (AIPS), the man then vomited over Shi, who went to clean himself up while the cameraman chased the man out of the hotel.
When they returned, all of the camerman’s equipment had been stolen, as well as baggage belonging to both men.
