Brazil says `no' to Naomi Campbell's blood
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) - April 15, 2008 The British supermodel arrived at the HemoRio medical center
Tuesday to take part in a blood drive, but was turned away.
Officials there say she needs to wait longer after having surgery
in February to remove a cyst.
An outbreak of mosquito-borne dengue fever has infected more
than 75,000 people in Rio de Janeiro state this year and killed at
least 80.
Campbell often visits Brazil, and Rio Mayor Cesar Maia has
invited her to be a goodwill ambassador for the city.
