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



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

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.


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.

They have more than provided money for compensation for something that isn't even that serious..

They really need to let it go, the thing just got overblown. Drunken idiots with stupid drunken stories. They corrected their version of the account and have given a ton of ridiculous money to it. I don't see what more they want. They have been shamed enough over it.

Brazil is being ridiculous.
