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.

  • Wouldn't it be logical to only accept bids from cities that have the infrastructure in place to host an Olympic GamesOne possible flaw in this process is that NO city has the infrastructure in place to host an Olympic Games. Heck, they could come back to Atlanta and we would still need $100MM plus to Billions to build the venues and infrastructure.
