Belgium's Olympic committee announced Sunday that it would withdraw its team from the mixed relay triathlon at the Paris Olympics after one of its competitors who swam in the Seine @River fell ill.

Claire Michel, who competed in the women's triathlon Wednesday, “is unfortunately ill and will have to withdraw from the competition,” the Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee said in a statement.

The mixed relay triathlon is scheduled to take place Monday, with the swim portion of the competition slated for the Seine as well. 

De Standaard, one of Belgium's biggest newspapers, is reporting that the 35-year-old has contracted E coli.

Not the Olympics entering its "Woman's World" era . They should've known from the start it was going to be cursed when they chose that ugly ass logo TBH

France spent 1.4 billion euros to make the Seine and Marne clean for people to swim in. I thought it was an amazing idea to let parisians swim in the water in the city. But OF COURSE the government ****ed up yet again and the water is still too dirty to swim in...
