I don't know why all the teams don't just refuse to take part in any event in the Seine.
It is the same as any open water, or what do you base your rating on?
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.
