Some Olympic swimmers are turning to drinking cola as a surprising part of their workout regimen.
The Seine River, the site of a number of athletic events at the Paris Games, has raised water quality-related concerns — namely, E.coli and fecal matter — for months, despite the fact that the French city spent $1.5 billion to de-pollute it. The marathon swim test, meant to allow Olympians to preview the marathon swimming course, was canceled on Tuesday by the World Aquatics, per the Associated Press.
