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.
Contamination levels in the first eight days of June, after persistent heavy rain in Paris, showed bacteria such as E. coli and enterococci beyond limits judged safe for athletes.
The report was published by monitoring group Eau de Paris one day after a senior International Olympic Committee executive said there were “no reasons to doubt” races will go ahead as scheduled in in a historic downtown stretch of the Seine near the Eiffel Tower.
Not just after the cleanup is done, but specifically right before Macron and Hidalgo swim in it as PR to prove it’s fit for olympians. Parisians are the best.

Hidalgo, like a moron, gave a date when she would swim. Then they announced the shit in the Seine thing, so… she announced another date.
Macron won’t announce a date. And I’m betting neither of them will ever get their toes wet anyway.
