The director of the Olympic village revealed that "sex will return to the Olympics" with 300,000 contraceptives that will be distributed to the athletes. "We wanted to create places for the athletes where they would feel comfortable," said Laurent Michaud.
14,500 athletes and staff members will be in the Olympic Village nearing the end of its preparation for the summer months, and they will be given condoms. "It is certain that the athletes will be happy to come here and do as they wish. I am convinced that they'll be enthusiastic about what awaits them," he said.
