Adam Peaty has claimed athletes at Paris 2024 have found worms in their food as he criticised inadequate catering at the Olympic village. The six-time Olympic medallist complained about the quantity and quality of food on offer as he said it would affect the performances of athletes.

    Oh the irony of a country priding itself in its food serving subpar food to elite athletes.

    Also, pretty incredible that they seriously thought the Seine was worthy of swimming after it being known for decades as unsafe.

      To be fair, they spent a whole lot of money to make the Seine swimmable. The fact that we can even question if it is safe is a huge improvement over the old status quo.

        And then had people swimming in it after a TORRENTIAL rainstorm, which anyone involved in sanitation can tell you will raise ecoli and bacterial levels in general.

      Also hilarious that athletes are somehow the only ones not allowed AC? Lol. Corrupt IoC officials were probably enjoying Paris’ finest hotels and the services of Paris’ finest whorehouses meanwhile somehow athletes have to deal with this shit.
