Without Federer at the Olympics, Lindt will have to change promotion award

Roger Federer tennis player''s decision not to come to the Olympics of Rio also picked up the brand of chocolates Lindt by surprise and will force the company to have to pick up another award for the promotion which promised to take 20 customers plus one for a "unique gathering" with the Swiss athlete in Brazil.

According to Lindt, Federer has canceled all its commitments in Brazil. "In the face of the note published by the tennis player Roger Federer just now, communicating the cancellation of his visit to Rio de Janeiro, as well as in the rest of the 2016 season ATP, Lindt Brazil is getting in touch with the winners of the promotion" double dos Sonhos Lindt: you and Roger Federer in Brazil ", to align with the award" , according to the brand, said in a statement.
Questioned by the G1, Lindt has not reported the alternatives under study or being offered to the winners. Through its press office, assured, however, that has begun to contact the winners and the winners will be compensated.
The promotion was launched at the end of last month and would mark "the first global Ambassador of the company''s visit to a Lindt store in the country". By rule, each 75 R$ on purchases, the customer made a code for a chance to win a trip to Rio to meet with the tennis player.
The draw went by the Government lottery last Saturday (23). The promotion Web site reports that the names of the winners will be disclosed until this Wednesday (27), after confirmation that the winners meet the regulation.
In your Facebook, Federer posted on Tuesday the following message: "Dear fans, I am extremely disappointed to announce that I''m not going to represent Switzerland at the Olympics in Rio and I too will miss the remainder of the season. Considering all the options, after consulting with my doctors and my team, I have taken the difficult decision to terminate my 2016 season, whereas I need more extensive rehabilitation, after my knee surgery earlier this year. The doctors advised that, if I want to play the ATP World Tour for a few more years, as I intend to do, should I give to my knee and my body enough time for a full recovery. It''s hard to miss the rest of the year. However, this experience made me realize how lucky I have been in my entire career with very few injuries. The love I have for tennis, competition, tournament and, of course, for you, my fans remain intact. I''m more motivated than ever and I intend to put all my energy to come back stronger, healthy and in shape to play in 2017. Thanks for the continued support of you ".
