ALEX Salmond has expressed personal concern about a pollution threat to the triathlon at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The First Minister said it was "critical" that the loch earmarked for the open-water swim in the endurance trial at the Glasgow games is cleaned up to stop a repeat of recent problems.
Salmond made the comment four days after 57 out of 70 swimmers fell seriously ill after an event at Strathclyde Loch in North Lanarkshire.
