Salt Lake to supply condoms at Games
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Despite Utah's straight-laced morals, Salt Lake Olympic organizers will continue a tradition of supplying the athletes at the 2002 Winter Games with condoms. The International Olympic Committee does not require Olympic cities to provide condoms but advises it, said SLOC spokeswoman Caroline Shaw. SLOC supplier Cardinal Health Insurance will provide condoms at no cost to organizers or athletes, she said. "This is just a standard public-health practice that was done at previous Games and will be done at our Games," Shaw said. A shortage at the Sydney Games was blamed on athletes hoarding condoms as keepsakes. That didn't stop Sydney supplier Ansell International from bragging that 50,000 of its condoms were in such demand it had to ship thousands more.
