Rio 2016: Swimmers need to ingest only three teaspoons of water to be almost certain getting sick

A report commisioned by the Associated Press has revealed that water in Rio's Olympic and Paralympic venues holds viral levels 1.7m times what would be considered alarming in the United States and Europe just five days before the Games get underway.

Is it too late to scrap this thing and try again? Not worth sickening and endangering thousands of athletes IMO. Brazil obviously paid some people off to get the summer games. Never seen a more unsuitable location chosen.
