French sports minister blasts rail sabotage against ’Athletes’ Olympic Games’

“Sabotage” that has hobbled France’s high-speed TGV train network hours ahead of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony was an attack on “the athletes’ Games”, Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said Friday.
“These Games are for the athletes who have been dreaming of them for years and fighting for the holy grail of standing on the podium -- and someone’s sabotaging that for them,” Oudea-Castera told broadcaster BFMTV, adding the Olympics “have been prepared for so carefully by hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens for almost 10 years”.
