World Cup statue made from cocaine

This crappy-looking replica of the World Cup trophy is actually made from cocaine. Police found it at Colombia's Bogotà airport in a box addressed to Madrid. From The Guardian:
Cocainetrophhh(Airport official Colonel José) Piedrahita said a lab test confirmed the cup was made of 11kg (24lb) of powder, which would have been mixed with acetone or petrol to make it into a paste that could be moulded. The cocaine would be worth up to £1m on the street.
