USA to Quit Olympics Over Zika United States Olympic Committee has warned that it's athletes and staff should consider not going for the Rio Olympics if they are concerned over the Zika virus. The message was delivered to various US Sport Federations according to sources. This briefing to US sports persons is the latest indication that the Zika virus poses a considerable risk to the Olympics. USA are one of the strongest teams in the Olympic games and any disruption to it's participation will take the sheen off the sporting extravaganza. Mosquito-borne Zika virus has caused various cases of a birth defect marked by an abnormally small head in Brazil. As a result, the World Health Organization declared an international health emergency on Feb 1st. Will Rio bear the brunt of Zika? Will other countries follow suit and make a similar recommendation?
