Hope Solo, the goaltender from the U.S. women’s World Cup-winning team said she has second thoughts about going to Brazil to play for the Olympics because of Zika virus concerns.

“If I had to make the choice today, I wouldn’t go [to the Olympics] … We accept these particular choices as part of being a woman, but I do not accept being forced into making the decision between competing for my country and sacrificing the potential health of a child, or staying home and giving up my dreams and goals as an athlete. Competing in the Olympics should be a safe environment for every athlete, male and female alike. Female athletes should not be forced to make a decision that could sacrifice the health of a child.”

Solo is 34 and married to former NFL player Jerramy Stevens. Figuring out the right time to have children is already a concern for female athletes without having the worry about the problems caused by the mosquito-borne virus.

CDC recommendations advise pregnant women to avoid Zika-infected areas because of the risks of microcephaly and other poor pregnancy outcomes. While officials are trying to get a handle on the outbreak, the Olympics are just 178 days away.

It’s not unheard of for pregnant women to compete in the Olympics. Two U.S. Olympians — Kerri Walsh Jennings and Kim Rhode — found out they were pregnant during the London Olympics. A Malaysian Olympian in rifle was 34 weeks pregnant when she competed in 2012.

In fact, Sports Reference lists 18 women who competed in the Olympics while pregnant, and not all of them were aware of their pregnancies at the time.

What is a pregnant Olympian — or one who may be pregnant, or one who is considering getting pregnant — to do? Don’t go to the Olympics — an opportunity that doesn’t always come twice —- or go, and hold off on having kids — another opportunity that doesn’t always come twice. It’s an unfair decision to put on athletes, and as Solo notes, it’s one male athletes don’t have to deal with.

No athlete competing in Rio should be faced with this dilemma,” she told Grant Wahl. “Female professional athletes already face many different considerations and have to make choices that male professional athletes don’t.”

But the spread of Zika virus is forcing female athletes to consider what heading to Brazil could do to their future.
