Athletes snap up condoms at games village
By Ko Dong-hwan
Participants at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games are picking up about 5,000 condoms a day at the Athletes’ Village, sources said Sunday.
However, the organizing believes most of the condoms, ingrained with the official emblem, are being taken as souvenirs, not for sex. The committee believes the “condom frenzy” is a “positive” sign, because condoms prevent sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
Condoms have long been provided at major global sports events because . . . well . . . athletes enjoy sex, just like most of us.
About 150,000 condoms were provided for athletes at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
