My understanding is that there was never a police report filed. Lochte told his mother then confirmed the story when asked by the media.

As for the soap dispenser, pictures released after the incident show no damage to the bathroom. It was an exaggeration by the Brazilian authorities to try to make the swimmers look like the bad guys.

Has there been pictures or video released of the damage caused?

If Lochte wasn't such a moron, I think public opinion would be more on his side. It's fun to make jokes about him, and the more these jokes happen, the more people ignore the facts of the story. If this had happened to Paul George (a recognized name but not the biggest in his sport), nobody would be talking about it anymore.

I'm confused on this. There seems to have been a formal police investigation. Does that happen without a report in Brazil?

Idle curiosity made me google. According to the SI version of the story (who knows if this is accurate) they did some (unspecified) damage and/or urinated on the walls of the bathroom.

I have no idea. Whatever the exact story is it seems Lochte lied about it and the Brazilians are interested in making a public case about misdemeanor level offenses to make some political hay.
