The Cocaine World Cup



Colombian drugs police have uncovered a replica World Cup trophy made entirely out of cocaine at Bogotà airport, Colombia. The gold-painted cocaine World Cup trophy is the exact size and weight of the real thing.



BBC News report:

The crate was in an airmail warehouse waiting to be sent to an address in Spain, airport anti-drug chief Jose Piedrahita said.

The World Cup replica was made up of 11kg (24 lb) of the drug, mixed with acetone or gasoline to make it mouldable.


The cocaine would be worth up to £1m on the street.
