Kidnapped New Zealand-born athlete Jason Lee and his partner are now safe in Toronto after a harrowing week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Two military police officers kidnapped Lee over the weekend, forcing him into an unmarked car and making him extract 2000 Reais ($812) from ATMs.

Police from the same branch then visited his apartment in what he described as an attempt to intimidate him. Two officers have since been taken into custody.

How much of a shitshow are the Olympics going to be? I know all kinds of problems were predicted for the World Cup in South Africa and that ended up going relatively smoothly, but this seems like it's definitely going to be an absolute clusterfuck.
