There goes any opportunities for endorsements. The advertising agency for Clairol's Icy Blue Hair dye is going to have to look elsewhere.

In Lochte's defense, he is like an actual retard.

Wow what a shitshow

Ryan Lochte's robber, Manti Teo's girlfriend, and Josh Shaw's little cousin walk into a bar...

So he was probably shaken down more than actually robbed correct?
They fricked up the gas station and the owner pulled a gun on them and demanded money to fix their stupidity?

Lochte does have a kind of Hansel "quality" to him.

why was there a need to make up this story still. they got into fight, paid them off with cash for damages, why the need for a robbery story then?
Posted on 8/18/16 at 11:19 am to TexasTiger89
Why even make up the story? Sounds like they paid to cover it up already.

The guys who will likely still want to swim for the US in Tokyo probably didn't want to get in trouble. I'd imagine something like that could result in suspension by their national swimming federation.
ETA: Rio government officials still fricked up in how they handled it. Pulling swimmers of planes and revoking passports for this is ridiculous. It easily could've been handled between the Embassy there and lawyers.

where they possibly going to get in trouble for being out so late? That's the only reason I can think of.

I'd say fabricating a story like this w/ international news and slandering rio's reputation for a false incident shouldn't go over very well.

But why male swimmers?
Posted on 8/18/16 at 11:34 am to TexasTiger89
So what type of consequences are they looking at? Public apology?

Then they could issue a public apology. Let their governing body over their sport handle the penalties if there's no criminal charges. Lets not act like Rio has a stellar reputation right now for telling the truth either.
Unless you're a suspect of terrorism, espionage, etc. there's really only a handful of good reasons to detain a foreigner in a country like Brazil. Especially given how corrupt their government is at this point.
No charges have been filed against Lochte and Co. Is it embarrassing as hell? Absolutely. But there were other ways it could've been handled that ironically would've resulted in less publicity.
