Brazil's Senate will investigate the deportation of two Cuban boxers who
had quit their team during Pan American Games, the head of the foreign
relations committee said on Tuesday.
Guillermo Rigondeaux and Erislandy Lara arrived back in Cuba on Sunday
after Brazilian police briefly detained them near Rio de Janeiro for not
carrying documents.
The two internationally acclaimed boxers had left the Cuban delgation,
considered going to Europe but then changed their mind and wanted to go
home, police said.
The Senate foreign relations committee is to formalize a request on
Thursday for Foreign Minister Celso Amorim and Justice Minister Tarso
Genro to testify on the episode.
