Has anyone else heard of the IM Lone Star 70.3 cancellation due to oil spill?

Hearing rumors of this from people who are involved with the race. They’re almost certainly cancelling the swim, but possibly the entire event. Really sucks.

I am in Dallas but was going to drive down for the race I called my friend in the coast guard when I heard the news and based on what she’s saying as it looks now any water events in the area probably wont take place until they know everything has been contained
.

Why would they cancel the entire race?
