Drugs packaged with the Olympic rings and the logo of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games have been seized by Brazilian police.
The discovery of 93 doses of powder cocaine, 28 of crack cocaine and several .40 calibre bullets was made at a house in the Lapa neighbourhood, in central Rio de Janeiro.
The handgun bullets are restricted to the country's security forces.
The plastic bags in which the drugs were packaged were marked with the Olympic lettering, a Rio 2016 identification stamp and a warning to "keep away from children", police revealed.
Brazilian drug dealers often use images and names of football players and sports events to sell their products.
With less than two weeks to go before the Olympics get under way, the Brazilian authorities are coming under further pressure to ensure the Games go well amid rumours that all is not as it should be.
The authorities face accusations of corruption and incompetence with a specially built coastal cycle path collapsing even before the Games have started and other parts of the stadium infrastructure not yet finished.
Earlier, this week, athletes arrived from a number of countries, including Australia, the US and Italy, complaining about the housing in the Olympic Village.
Among their complaints are broken toilets, unhygienic living conditions and exposed wires.
Some 1.5 million visitors are expected in Rio to attend the Olympic Games, which are being held from 5 - 21 August.
