French charity sounds alarm about Seine ahead of Olympics • FRANCE 24 English
A French water charity sounded the alarm Monday about pollution in the Seine just over 100 days before the start of the Olympics when the river is set to be used for swimming events. Surfrider Foundation said it had analysed six months of tests over winter undertaken by a laboratory and concluded that the river water remained polluted and potentially dangerous.

I wouldn't go in that water for a gold medal……
Government and Olympic officials should be required to drink the water before declaring it safe for the athletes.
Goodluck drinking that water!
Thats all well and good, but if they wanted Paris to do something about it you don't wait till the last 100 days
Europe should forget about hosting olympic 😂😂 you guys have so many extremists and leftists.
Mumbai also have similar problem wirh the rivers, rhe solution imo is to separate the stream of water for waste along the river in another tunnel and set of filteration at different places
Didnt swimmers get sick after a race in England last year?
The Rio games already ended almost a decade ago, sucessfully and u still talking about it, then u guys pretend be shocked when Ryan Lochte situation happens…Go clean the river!
Those events may prove to be intelligence tests.
