All options regarding the Zika virus are on the table — or in the freezer — when it comes to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil.
The number of athletes withdrawing their names from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics seems to multiply by the day due the outbreak of the mosquito-borne virus. Pau Gasol hasn’t officially backed out of the Summer Games, but if he does play for Spain this summer, the Chicago Bulls big man is considering taking some precautionary measures.
“Freezing sperm is one of the measures I have to consider,” Gasol told The Associated Press on Thursday, via ESPN.com.
