Could Bob Costas’ need to look younger be the reason he almost went blind during his Sochi Olympics coverage.
According to Page Six, Costas got his infamous case of Olympic pink eye from botched Botox, a source claims.
NBC’s prime-time Olympics host, who had to take a six-day absence after coming down with viral conjunctivitis in both eyes, contracted the infection after a Botox procedure to smooth out wrinkles prior to the Olympics. Our source said, “Bob’s eye infection was due to botched Botox. This isn’t the first time he’s had it.”
NBC strongly denies that Costas — who arrived to host the games in Sochi with a forehead smoother than the Olympic luge track — developed the infection from a Botox procedure.
A spokesperson from NBC Sports insisted to us, “This has zero truth to this. Zero.”
To be fair, doctors say it is rare to contract an infection from a Botox injection, unless there was contamination or the patient suffered an allergic reaction.
