Tokyo Olympics organizers plan to distribute 160K condoms, tell athletes not to use them

Tokyo Olympics organizers are planning to distribute 160,000 condoms to athletes during the games, and will tell athletes not to use them due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The Olympics has a tradition of handing out 160,000 condoms to athletes who choose to engage in sex so they can do so safely it during their time at the games, The Guardian reported.

However, coronavirus rules this year stipulate that athletes should eat and sleep alone in order to prevent the spread of the virus.

The organizers said that the condoms are being handed out for athletes to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS in their home countries, according to The Guardian.

Breaking the coronavirus restrictions during the games could result in disqualification, fines and being sent home.

Japan's government and the International Olympic Committee have come under fire from Japanese residents, with critics saying that it is not safe to hold the games due to the coronavirus.

Japan has seen a slow vaccination rollout and has had Tokyo and other areas under a state of emergency for over a month due to a spike in cases.

The state of emergency is expected to be lifted soon due to a decrease in cases, but many believe lifting any restrictions could easily lead to another spike.

The International Olympic Committee has already banned foreign spectators at the games, and will be discussing having no fans at all due to the virus.

Why not just make all the athletes stop in either Honolulu or Los Angeles on way to Tokyo? At the layover, everyone can get their J&J single dose vaccine.

That’s as bad as VP Kamala going down to Guatemala saying:
“Don’t Come!” after the admin. sending all manner of opposite signals over and over again.

"At the layover, everyone can..."

Doping risk.

Or, No way in Hell will they want the shot.

I’ve heard at past Olympics, that the atmosphere in the Olympic village is like spring break or college frat houses.

The Russians would definitely try to take advantage of it.

In every single Olympics, we have to get treated to a story about how many condoms are being provided. What the hell is wrong with people?

Can somebody please tell me why randy athletes can’t procure their own or bring them along with them to the Games?

I'm doing the math and shaking my head. I would suppose there would be fewer, not more than the 11,238 athletes who competed in 2016.

160,000 works out to roughly 14 condoms per athlete. Most of them aren't there for anything close to two weeks.

Now, I will confess to making whoopie two, three or even four times a day when I was first married, but since that time, two or three times a week has been more the norm.

Sooooo, athletes need these given to them why?
Is it because they are dumb sh*ts who are too stupid to know that they can be purchased readily?
Or perhaps they didn’t get the first grade lib teacher showing them how to use them on a banana?
(Apologies to the athletes out there who think this is as dumb as...as CNN “talent”.)
Yup, it’s the media. Those idiots really need us to invent a new term for the substupid....even dumber than a Democrat.

Being Japan I’m guessing there won’t be any floating couches and garbage in the distance swim events like there were last time in Brazil?
