Maybe it’s a matter of degree or volume? If one or two swimmers piddle in the pool, the chlorine and normal decomposition can handle it. When the whole town’s waste winds up there, it’s asking quite a lot of any cleaning system to purify it.
Got yer back
schan
I truly hope Rio be the final nail in the coffin of the corrupt IOC and the modern day Olympics.
Between forcing our athletes to muck about in poopy water, and the likelihood of Russia again pumping it’s athletes full of steroids to bring home gold and glory to the mother-bear. I’m beginning to lose interest in the giant IOC spectacle.
And 60% of them have hepatitis. Brazil is dirty
I know 100% of the blame and responsibility belongs to the IOC but if I am a swimmer competing in these events there are no amount of gold medals that are worth me swimming in shit.
We’ve been down this way before. It didn’t end well.
This could’ve been the Chicago Olympics.
Explosive diarrhea huh? The medal ceremonies might get a little interesting.
Dooodie!
Rio 2016: C the DIFFerence you want for the world.
Bet they test the free hookers for viruses...
The IOC cares more that their free hookers are clean than that the athlete’s venues are. You should know this by now.
For this story to really go viral, it needs a “Ballghazi”-style brand name:
I wonder what the fallout is gonna be like if/when an athelete dies from some virus they got in this water...
who gives a shit what the “official” recommendation from WHO is?
Explosive diarrhea? sounds like this problem will keep multiplying. I’m going to be watching swimming just to look for the brown trails.
When the Olympics and WCs stop happening. I hope the bloated, fat Europeans who got fatter and richer off of these spectacles, are happy that they ran them into the ground with their greed. Fuckheads.
After making all the athletes run and bike through dangerous levels of soot and smog in China, why not have the swimmers swim through shit in Rio.
I’ve contracted dysentery once and it was no Mardis Gras.
