Et, 27 ans apr\u00e8s le drame, des dizaines de personnes par mois qui continuent de d\u00e9c\u00e9der \u00e0\u00a0 cause des produits toxiques encore \u00e0\u00a0 l\u2019air libre ou enfouis. On \u00e9voque bien s\u00e0\u00bbr la catastrophe de Bhopal, ville du centre de l\u2019Inde, le 3 d\u00e9cembre 1984, lorsque l\u2019usine de pesticides de la firme am\u00e9ricaine Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) explosa, d\u00e9gageant 40 tonnes d\u2019isocyanate de m\u00e9thyle (interm\u00e9diaire utilis\u00e9 pour la synth\u00e8se des carbamates in\u00c2\u00adsec\u00c2\u00adti\u00c2\u00ad\u00c2\u00adcides) dans l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re. Les familles des victimes ont eu beau recevoir une indemnisation de 470 millions de dollars, l\u2019affaire, \u00c2\u00abg\u00e9r\u00e9e\u00c2\u00bb par le gouvernement indien, n\u2019a pas abouti en justice. Inculp\u00e9e en 1987, UCC ne s\u2019est jamais pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e devant les tribunaux, tandis que son PDG de l\u2019\u00e9poque, Warren Anderson, vivrait paisiblement \u00e0\u00a0 Long Island (Etat de New York). Quant au site de l\u2019usine de Bhopal, il n\u2019est toujours pas d\u00e9contamin\u00e9. Le rapport entre ce scandale et le sport? Simple. Il y a deux ans, le g\u00e9ant am\u00e9ricain Dow Chemical Group (DCG) est devenu l\u2019un des top sponsors du Comit\u00e9 international olympique (CIO), s\u2019acquittant d\u2019un droit d\u2019entr\u00e9e estim\u00e9 \u00e0\u00a0 plusieurs dizaines de millions de dollars afin de pouvoir utiliser le fameux embl\u00e8me aux cinq anneaux jusqu\u2019en 2020.
