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.
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.

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.

I can assure you Rio's reputation didn't take much of a hit.

They boo'd other competitors and cheered when they screwed up. Reputation is just fine.
