The head of the French capital responded to reports of athletes struck down by E. coli.
Anne Hidalgo claims that all the athletes who took part in the swim in the Seine are completely healthy.
On air on the BFMTV channel, the politician stated that information about cases of E. coli infection among triathletes is fake.
The mayor of Paris said the truth was established after data was provided by the national Olympic committees.
They deny cases of illness or withdrawal of athletes from competitions due to illness.
Before this, epidemiologist Gennady Onishchenko stated that athletes who swam in the Seine could become ill with hepatitis, typhoid fever, and other illnesses.
Some illnesses may appear after the Olympics are over.
Information about a case of E. coli infection among Olympic participants was reported by major Western media.
