(Reuters) – Americans Bob and Mike Bryan, the most successful doubles team in men's tennis history, have pulled out of the defense of their title at the Rio Games saying their family's health is their top priority. “After countless hours of deliberation Mike and I have decided to forego the Rio Olympics,” the pair wrote on their Facebook page on Saturday. “Though we'd love to compete again, as husbands and fathers, our family's health is now our top priority.” Many athletes have withdrawn from the Olympics over concerns about the mosquito-borne Zika virus linked to birth defects in newborn babies and possible neurological problems in adults.
