Look, even if that were true, then I would say the same about any open water. It's a severe health risk that no-one should be taking. Proper facilities could have been put in place.

I am sorry to tell you that every lake or river has poo in it, they test e coli for bathing spots and give out warning on bad days. So they did for the Seine. There was no serve health risk on the days of race.
