LIMA (Reuters) - Argentina's women's basketball team made a kit-astrophic exit from the Pan Am Games on Wednesday when they were forced to forfeit a preliminary round match to Colombia after showing up with the wrong uniforms.

"The Colombia team has been awarded a walkover in their preliminary round of women's basketball against Argentina, after the party authorities determined that the Argentine team did not have the correct shirts," Lima 2019 said.
