To meet the UK Environment Agency’s inland bathing water quality standards, E. coli levels should be below 1,000 CFU per 100ml. “It would be terrific if the Boat Race drew attention to it. It also adds that rowers should refer themselves to a healthcare professional if they accidentally swallow river water. The guidance has been issued to both universities in briefing packs ahead of this weekend’s race, River Action said. The Oxford boat sinks after only half a mile, during the annual University boat race against Cambridge on March 24, 1951.

☆ UK rowing body bans transgender women from competing in women’s events
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Amy Woodyatt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London CNN —Transgender women will not be allowed to compete in the women’s category of British Rowing events, the sport’s UK governing body has announced ahead of a change in policy due to come in later this year. Only athletes “assigned female at birth” will be allowed to compete in the women’s category in competitions under its jurisdiction, or be selected to represent Great Britain or England at international events, British Rowing said in a media release published Thursday. Meanwhile, any athletes are eligible to compete in an “Open” category, while competitions can stage “Mixed” events at any level of competition, providing 50% of crew are eligible to compete as women, British Rowing added. The policy includes athletes who compete in rowing and para-rowing, and applies at all levels including the Olympics and Paralympics, British Rowing added. “While elite sport often dominates these discussions, it only makes up a tiny proportion of all sport played in the UK.
