Rower claims 'dirty' river gave her condition that makes her sick up to 40 times a day

A student rower claims capsizing her boat in "dirty" river water has left her with a stomach condition that saw her vomit up to 40 times a day and unable to eat a meal for almost two years.

Kira Roberts was rowing along the River Witham, in Lincoln, with two friends in December 2020 when her boat rolled over and she tumbled into the water.

The 23-year-old says she wasn't worried as she'd fallen out of the boat many times before, so she hopped back in and continued rowing before going home for a shower.
