Fires on French railway tracks have delayed journeys for 800,000 travelers in what the transport minister described as “coordinated attacks of malicious intent.”
A co-ordinated arson attack on the French rail system is turning the first weekend of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris into a nightmare for hundreds of thousands of travelers.
French rail company SNCF announced on Friday its high-speed train system had been hit by “deliberate arson attacks to damage [its] facilities” causing delays and cancellations which are expected to last all weekend.
The disruptions are affecting trains heading East, North and West of Paris, and travelers have been asked to postpone their plans.
Maybe after this all the various Russian teams will finally be banned completely. Country is full of cheaters anyway.

Correct but they are also the ones that have already gotten caught trying to recruit people to do this exact thing.
If you have all the motive and a track record for doing shit exactly like this, of course you’ll be the prime suspect.
Turns out Russia was responsible for amplifying the bed bug scare of Paris these past months, too.
Icarus is a great documentary about doping in general, but especially russia.
Absolutely must watch TV!
