Officials Deny Dirty Water Made Rowers Sick in Rio
There is no clear evidence that rowers who fell ill after competing in Rio de Janeiro at the weekend were infected by abnormal levels of viruses or bacteria in the water, U.S. and international sailing officials said on Monday.
The Associated Press reported that 13 members of the 40-member U.S. team fell ill after the world junior championships, a test event for next year’s Olympics in Brazil.
U.S. officials confirmed to Reuters that 15 members took ill but said that was not abnormal in international events and it was too early to blame dirty water.
