SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Mayor Eduardo Paes has guaranteed the tennis and equestrian venues for this year's Rio Olympics will be ready even though last week he annulled contracts with the companies building the two arenas.
"We can't be at the mercy of those who don't honour their commitments," Paes told Reuters on Thursday. "There is no risk. Everything will be delivered on time for test events and for the Games."
