Coca-Cola Company is the longest-standing sponsor of the Olympic Games .

Calls from public health experts for the International Olympic Committee to end the partnership have grown louder over recent years .

The 2024 Olympics are in fact sponsored by Sanofi , a pharma company that researches diabetes and potential treatments.

Coca-Cola’s 14 -person athlete roster was revealed in the lead up to the 2024 games.
