Yoghurt and disinfectant: Team GB’s plan for Olympic triathlon swim in Seine
- E coli levels in Paris river one of Games’ ‘biggest challenges’
- Triathletes will be ‘sanitised to within an inch of their lives’
Team GB’s triathlon stars are already preparing for pollution in the Seine during the Paris Olympics by eating more yoghurt and taking probiotics, it can be revealed.
British triathletes have also been told they should not touch recovery drinks or food after training in the water until they have been “sanitised to within an inch of their lives” in a bid to avoid gastrointestinal issues.
