On Thursday, 9 June, American golfer Stacy Lewis voiced her concerns about going to Rio for the upcoming Olympic Games.

SOUNDBITE (English): Stacy Lewis, World No. 7, on her concerns going to Rio for the Olympics:

"Yeah, definitely concerned. The Zika thing is a serious deal. My thing is they don't know the long-term effects of it, that's the scariest part for me. Hopefully I'm on the team come July 11th, and then we'll make a decision. I don't think there's a need to make a decision right now. If it gets better, if it gets worse down there, hopefully they'll tell us."
Q. At this point you are still a little uncertain if you did make it, whether you'd go or not?
"Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm a hundred percent going. It's just so hard. As an athlete how do you pass up the Olympics? It's unfortunate that we're the ones that have to make a decision. You'd almost like to see a governing body or somebody like that kind of put their foot down and say, no, we're not going. But there's too much money in it, I don't think that will ever happen. It's hard being an athlete, that's your dream, and to say you're not going to go, it's a hard decision to make."
