Athletes participating in the water portion of the olympic games in Rio have been told to keep their mouths closed. For those of you who don’t remember, when Brazil bid to host the olympic games, the government promised to stem the foul waste in Guanabara Bay.
Since then, it’s been reported that shortages in funding have prevented them from fulfilling that promise, and the bacteria in the bay is actually getting worse.
To give you an idea of what the problem looks like the rivers flowing into the bay are pure sludge, and pipes have been installed in many of the houses, which take sewage from the home and drain it into the water. This means that olympic athletes will literally be swimming in human feces. According to scientists, the pathogens in the water can create rota viruses that can cause diarrhea and vomiting.

Maybe the IOC can hold the summer Olympics in my toilet next time.
Shameful
DISGUSTING
The IOC and the Nobel committee have both proven that they are corrupt past their usefulness. Both can go straight to hell.

Who cares?
Don’t be stupid – refuse to swim in other than bacteria free watere!
flint drinks it. they don’t have it so bad.
So, does this mean there will be medals for projectile vomiting? Freestyle diarrhea?
I was in the phillapines and a guy jumped in the water he had to be hauled out and was giving a lot of shots, the sewage from the ships ran to that water. As I got closer to the bridge that was called$#%&!@*river bridge, my eyes would water and sting…i would refuse to swim in that water if I was in the games…icky..just gross…
