Bolivian authorities have seized over 80kg of marijuana from a bus contracted to transport São Paulo FC while the club was traveling to Bolivia. The drug bust occurred near Cochabamba, where the vehicle was stopped.
The bus, branded with São Paulo's colors, was operated by logistics company Buses Cosmos. However, no players or club staff were on board at the time of the stop. The bus was hired to transport the team around Bolivia for their Copa Sudamericana match against Bolívar.
São Paulo FC and Buses Cosmos have distanced themselves from the alleged trafficking. Local reports indicate that at least two drivers and other individuals connected to the vehicle have been detained. Bolivia's anti-narcotics unit is now investigating the origin and destination of the drugs. São Paulo FC has rearranged its logistics, using an alternative bus to ensure their match schedule could continue without disruption.
