The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has suspended the credentials of a testing laboratory in Rio de Janeiro for failing to comply with international standards.<br /><br /> The lab at the Federal University of Rio has analysed about 2,000 blood and urine samples this year, including testing of Brazil’s Olympic team and top football matches.<br /><br /> The organisers of August’s Games say they have a back-up plan.<br /><br /> “It is not a big deal for us because we have support of the local airline so we can transport the samples in our daily flights to Europe or the US. It is a blow, it is a problem to have the lab being suspended less than two months before the games,” said Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada.<br /><br /> A source familiar with the decision said technical errors leading to false positives were the likely cause of the suspension.<br /><br /> It has added to concerns over whether the Games will be ready in six weeks time.<br />
