Olympics Triathlon at Risk Due to Severe Pollution in Seine River

Recent tests reveal alarmingly high levels of E. coli and other bacteria, threatening the swimming events scheduled for July.

Surfrider Foundation Europe reports none of the 14 water samples from the Seine met EU regulations, with high levels of E. coli and enterococcus faecalis.
Officials including the Paris Organizing Committee President express hope but acknowledge possible cancellation or postponement of swimming events.
$1.5 billion invested in cleaning the Seine has yet to meet public safety standards for swimming.
International Olympic Committee considers changing the triathlon to a duathlon if water conditions don't improve.
Athletes express concerns, urging for a 'Plan B' as the Olympic events approach.
