Reuters reported earlier today that the city of Rio de Janeiro canceled the construction contract for the Olympic tennis center on yesterday, fining contractors IBEG Engenharia e Construções, Tangran Engenharia and Grupo Damiani responsible for delays and breach of contract for the nearly finished venue.Last week, laid off workers at the tennis center protested outside, saying they were not being paid by the builders.
