POLICE in Rio found another bullet inside the Olympic equestrian media centre yesterday – the second time a stray shot has been picked up at the venue over the past week.

The latest bullet was discovered near the horse stables at the venue in the northern suburb of Deodoro, and was found only four days after a bullet passed through the tented roof of the centre.
