Interestingly, the condom packages feature this year's Olympic mascots in Paris. "No need to be a gold medallist to wear them," "On the field of love, play fair. Ask for consent," "Don't share more than victory, protect yourself against STDs” are some of the slogans that appeared on the condom packages.
Safety first
Recently, the media widely commented on the issue of contraceptives made available to the participants by the organizers. According to information provided by olympics.com, the condoms were not distributed equally—200,000 were allocated to men, while only 20,000 were given to women.
Laurent Dalard, responsible for health care, explained that this amount protects 10,500 athletes, especially those residing in the Olympic Village. The initiative aims to ensure appropriate health prophylaxis.
