Cuban Boxers Defected Now Have Been Detected

The boxers' foreign accents and way of behaving, as well as Erislandy Lara's gold teeth, had attracted attention of residents in the beach area of Praia Seca in Araruama, police said.
Both will be returned to Cuba where I am certain they will receive a less than warm welcome home. At least they weren't sent to the Congo, right?
