The IOC executive director says security concerns for the 2016 Rio Olympics haven't been heightened by a recent violent drug war. Gilbert Felli and other International Olympic Committee members ended a two-day organization seminar for Brazilian officials in Rio on Saturday. Since Rio was named host of the Olympics earlier this month, a drug war has been fought in Rio, causing security concerns. Felli acknowledges the situation was discussed but didn't voice any new worries, saying Rio's security preparations will be carefully followed. Brazil's organizers say they know Rio faces crime challenges, but they are working to lessen them before the games begin.
