PARIS – Water in the Seine River had unsafe elevated levels of E. coli less than two months before swimming competitions are scheduled to take place in it during the Paris Olympics, according to test results published Friday.
The first Olympic event in the cleaned-up Seine is men’s triathlon, including a 1.5-kilometer swim, on the morning of July 30. The women´s triathlon is the next day and a mixed relay event is on Aug. 5. The safety of the Seine water for the Olympics has been in doubt since some test events scheduled last August were cancelled, also after unseasonal heavy rains.
