Workers gather debris carried by the tide and caught by the "eco-barrier" before entering Guanabara Bay July 20.
Video After The JumpWith the opening ceremony for 2016 Summer Olympics set to begin next week in Rio de Janeiro, health experts are warning athletes about the filthy mess that is Guanabara Bay.
The New York Times reports that marathon swimmers, sailors and windsurfers have been told to swim with their mouths closed because the water is full of human waste that is being pumped into the Bay on a daily basis.
Add to that rats making a home in the filth and dead animal carcasses, creating a cesspool of bacteria. The smell is so bad it makes visitors feel like fainting or throwing up, according to USA Today.
When Rio was awarded the Olympics seven years ago, government officials promised to have the mess cleaned, but experts say the problem is actually worse now than it was then.
According to The Times, athletes face health risks from rotaviruses that can cause diarrhea and vomiting to drug-resistant 'superbacteria' that can be fatal to people with weakened immune systems.
"I see the same thing I saw nine years ago. The water is still very dirty," resident Luiz Goldfeld told USA Today. "At night the waters stinks, but nothing's changed. Still the same thing for nine years here. Unfortunately, they had the opportunity to change and they didn't do anything. The raw (sewage) comes from downtown and they don't have any treatment. It's pure shit."
"(Officials) used the Olympic games to put money in their pockets," Goldfeld continued. "They don't think (about) the Olympic legacy. We had the great opportunity to do things for the city, but wasted this opportunity. It smells like shit because it's full of shit. I don’t believe most of what we hear from the politicians, but I expected something would be done with the Olympics coming.”

Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, July 25, was fantastic and will be remembered and referenced for a long time to come.
One passage in particular resonated with a lot of viewers.
“I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the White House lawn," the First Lady said.
It was a reminder of both an ugly period in America's history and how far we've come as a nation.
Bill O'Reilly fact-checked Obama's comments and found them to be true. Slaves did in fact, build the White House.
During a segment on the Fox News show, "The O'Reilly Factor," the controversial host gave his take.
O'Reilly pointed out that "free blacks, whites and immigrants" also helped in the construction, before adding that "slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government."
Twitter users and celebrities ripped O'Reilly a new one Wednesday, July 27.
"I don't care if the slaves who built the White House were paid in gold and housed in mansions, Bill O'Reilly -- THEY WERE SLAVES!!!," Cole Haddon wrote.
"The idiocy never ceases to amaze me. Try slavery, Bill. Let us know how good the food is while you wear chains," Shonda Rhimes chimed in.

O'Reilly responded with a tweet of his own.
"Far left loons distort tip about @FLOTUS statement that slaves built White House. She's correct & I provided facts. More on The Factor -BO'R," he wrote.

— Bill O'Reilly (@oreillyfactor) July 27, 2016
The New York Times spoke with journalist Jesse Holland, who said that a good portion of what O'Reilly said wasn't accurate.
According to Holland, slaves were fed pork and bread, but how much couldn't be confirmed. He added that most were housed in barns.
“We know as construction workers they were expected to do hard, grueling, back-breaking work,” Mr. Holland said. “So they had to feed them enough so they could actually get their money’s worth. Were they well fed? That’s not something that, right now, history supports.”
In all likelihood O'Reilly won't face any repercussions from his bosses at Fox News. He's been making offensive comments for years and will probably continue to do so with their blessing.

Unbeknownst to many, Jas Prince was responsible for discovering and catapulting Drake's rap career after finding him on MySpace. By the time Jas reached out to the OVO rapper, he already had success as an actor on the Canadian television drama series, Degrassi and began to circulate as a lyricist. Although Jas comes from a music based family and has a Rap-A-Lot affiliation through his father J Prince, Jas opens up to DJ Vlad that Drake was uncertain of his promises. "I was like, 'I'm [going to] make you famous' and he was like 'I hear that a lot.'" Even though Drake appeared pessimistic about Jas' capabilities, he decided to work with him regardless.
In this interview Jas talks about J Prince and Lil Wayne not feeling the Canadian's sound, but explains once he gave him exclusive beats and let Weezy listen to him a second time during a random drive, He immediately wanted to work with him the next day.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Prosecutors dropped the remaining charges Wednesday against three Baltimore police officers awaiting trial in the death of Freddie Gray, bringing an end to the case without a conviction.
Gray was a 25-year-old black man whose neck was broken while he was handcuffed and shackled but left unrestrained in the back of a police van in April 2015. His death added fuel to the growing Black Lives Matter movement, set off massive protests in the city and led to the worst riots the city had seen in decades.
The decision by prosecutors comes after a judge had already acquitted three of the six officers charged in the case, including the van driver who the state considered the most responsible and another officer who was the highest-ranking of the group.
A fourth officer had his case heard by a jury, but the panel deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial.
On Wednesday, instead of a pretrial hearing for Officer Garrett Miller — who had faced assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges — Chief Deputy State's Attorney Michael Schatzow told the judge that prosecutors were dropping the charges against Miller and the rest of the officers.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys quickly left the courtroom without commenting, but both sides planned news conferences later Wednesday.
After Gray's death, the U.S. Justice Department launched a patterns and practice investigation into allegations of widespread abuse and unlawful arrests by the Baltimore Police Department. The results have not been released.
Prosecutors had said Gray was illegally arrested after he ran away from a bike patrol officer and the officers failed to buckle Gray into a seat belt or call a medic when he indicated he wanted to go to a hospital.
State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby wasted little time in announcing charges after Gray's death — one day after receiving the police department's investigation while a tense city was still under curfew — and she did not shy from the spotlight. She posed for magazine photos, sat for TV interviews and even appeared onstage at a Prince concert in Gray's honor.
The city's troubles forced Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire her reform-minded police chief and abandon her re-election campaign. Homicides skyrocketed at a rate unseen in decades.
Many feared that the acquittals could prompt more protests and unrest, but that never panned out.
The Gray case hasn't fit quite so neatly into the narrative of white authorities imposing unfair justice on minorities.
Three of the officers charged are white and three are black. The victim, judge, top prosecutor and mayor are African-American. At the time of Gray's death, so was the police chief.
No reputations hinged on the case's outcome as much as Mosby and her husband, Nick Mosby, a councilman for Baltimore's west side who announced his mayoral candidacy shortly after Rawlings-Blake pulled out.
Marilyn Mosby spoke so forcefully when she announced the charges against the officers in May that defense attorneys argued she should recuse herself for bias.

Gray's family received a $6.4 million settlement from the city.
