While some in France are sabotaging trains, others in Puerto Rico are sabotaging beauty.

Organisers of a beauty pageant in Puerto Rico are investigating a case of sabotage after a contestant’s dress and make-up were covered with pepper spray.

Ingrid Marie Rivera beat 29 pageant rivals to become the 2008 Miss Universe contestant, despite breaking out twice in hives - a red swollen rash.

Ms Rivera remained composed onstage before the judges, but backstage she applied ice packs to her face and body.

Her clothing and make-up later tested positive for pepper spray.

“We thought at first it was an allergic reaction, or maybe nerves,” said pageant spokesman Harold Rosario.
“But the second time, we knew it couldn’t have been a coincidence.”

There's a Greek legend about a spurned woman, Medea, who gave her rival a garment that caught fire when the other woman put it on, and she burned to death.
