enter the village on the official opening day a week ago, citing gas and water
leaks, electrical shorts, and general filth in its building.The team began

p.m.Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, says the IOC
is helping the local organizing committee of the Rio Games with a widely
reported cash-flow problem.He did not give details of the IOCs financial
support.The local organizing committee has an operating budget of 7.4 billion
Brazilian reals ($2.3 billion), to cover the games themselves and the cost of
building roads and sports venues. Organizers have promised to operate a balanced
budget, which has forced severe cutbacks.Brazil has been plunged into its
deepest recession since the 1930s, which has slowed the sales of local
advertising, sponsorships, and tickets.The budget shortfall has been reported to
be about $70 million.Bach says the IOC is helping the organizing committee to
make sure that these games will be the success we all want it to be.---1:15
p.m.IOC President Thomas Bach has defended the committees decision not to ban
Russias entire Olympic team and says the countrys doping scandal will not damage
the credibility of the Rio de Janeiro Games.Bach says a total ban on Russia
would not be justifiable on either moral or legal grounds because every human
being is entitled to certain rights of natural justice.Bach says the IOC set a
very high bar by imposing strict criteria for international sports federations
to apply in deciding which individual Russian athletes should be cleared to
compete at the Rio Games, which open on Friday.Asked how damaging the situation
is, Bach replied: I dont think that this, in the end, will be damaging because
people will realize we have to take this decision now.---1:00 p.m.Saudi Arabia
