This is just the latest bad news to hit the water sports to be held during the Olympics.

Sailing and rowing teams are taking extra precautions to combat the dirty water that they will be competing. a "super bacteria" was recently discovered in Rio's waters and only 60% of the sewage water is treated before entering the waterways where the athletes will be competing.
