HN changed the title from the original:

  The Incredible Story of The Cartel Olympics

to just:

  The Cartel Olympics

I edited it to "The Story of the Cartel Olympics" because this article is about the story and the storyteller, but did remove "Incredible".

TLDR: Man claims he's a former Olympian competitor, was kidnapped and forced to take part in a Mexican cartel version of "Squid Game" sports competitions.

You'll never believe what the reporter discovered!

(Hint: real life is much more boring than fictional Netflix dramas)
