Swimming in sewage in Rio

I wasn't sure if this should go in the open water section or here but it is about swimming.I just read this-bigstory.ap.org/.../ap-investigation-rios-olympic-water-rife-sewage-virus and am worried for our open water swimmers. What a terrible predicament,work for years to go to the Olympics and then get really really sick. This is a black eye on the IOC,who like FINA, is more interested in politics and patronage than athletes.

  • scy, Of course that makes perfect sense. But why let logic and good sense get in the way of a perfectly good deal full of deceit, fraud, and graft? It's the Olympic way (much like FIFA). Dan :lmao:Actually, I shouldn't be laughing, because it isn't a funny matter; but, you perfectly put into words what I was thinking after reading scyfreestyler's excellent post.
