Everyone knows its bogus but enough already, time to move on.

Nope. He made false statements to the police implication police in a robbery. A false statement alone is a criminal act.

Lochte lied to his girlfriend because he was late getting home to her, She told his mom, and then mom told the media. International furor. Moral of the story: Boys, leave your girlfriend at home when traveling to Brazil.

No, the moral of the story is don't make up a wild fake story about a fake robbery when traveling to a foreign country. Don't do that at home either.

Now things are coming together.

"Lochte was seen smiling in a photo with a flight attendant in Charlotte on Wednesday morning as he was spotted back in the US for the first time"

Lochte's attorney claimed Lochte left Brazil and was in the USA on Tuesday. Now that date is Wednesday which is after he was ordered not to leave.

Dude has cemented himself as the Lord of All Douches

Sweet, I hope that idiot Lochte gets Locht'd up! As an aside, doesn't everyone who dyes their hair grey seem like a crazy person? Hopefully that awful fad will end with this Lochte debacle.

This is probably why he left Rio so quickly. He knew he lied and knew he will be prosecuted and thrown in a Rio prison. At least he prefers men anyways.

"Using a customer to translate, the manager asked the swimmers to pay for the broken door. After a discussion, they did pay him an unknown amount of money and then left."

hmmm. most likely the taxi driver was black.

Lochte, dude - that story only works in the good ole USofA

Feigen (Fakin'?) may be in the most doo-doo since he's still in Brazil, and the Brazilians are PO'd, rightfully.

Nice of Lochte to make like a coward and scurry home, while leaving his friends behind to answer for him.

The Lochte plot thickens. He is too dumb to know how to lie. His story isn't holding water. He didn't notify police. He was drunk. He doesn't know where he was robbed. He doesn't know the color of the robbery cab.

More likely they were at a "spa" like the one players on the USA men's basketball team accidentally discovered.

Probably were pickpocketed by some tranny prostitutes and came up with that story to save face.[/quote]

Ryan Lochte and his three teammates did not initially inform the U.S. Olympic Committee they were robbed at gunpoint in a Rio taxi early Sunday morning "because we were afraid we'd get in trouble," the American swimmer told USA Today Sports on Tuesday.

Lochte's response comes after a police official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press earlier Tuesday that police cannot find their taxi driver or witnesses, and that the swimmers were unable to provide key details in police interviews.

The group did not call police, authorities said, and officers began investigating once they saw media reports in which Lochte's mother spoke about the robbery. Police interviewed Lochte and one other swimmer, who said they had been intoxicated and could not remember what type and color of taxi they rode in or where the robbery happened, the police official said. The swimmers also could not say what time the events occurred.

"...He took our money, he took my wallet -- he left my cellphone, he left my credentials." [claimed Lochte]

Update by LetsRun.com. Here is the latest story, "

Drunk Lochte and swimmer friends were NOT robbed but instead destroyed a gas station bathroom and argued with guard who told them to pay for the damage - but never pulled his gun, police say "

one thing about hte wallet wrote:

According to security footage at the Athletes' Village, Lochte had his wallet with him when he entered after supposedly being robbed of it.

So let's see what really happened:

1. Got completely wasted.

2. Got in a fight at a gas station and probably lost.

3. Made up a story about it.

4. Story blew up into an international news item.

5. Investigation reveals that it was untrue.

which will lead to:

6. A lot of shame and embarrassment for a guy who cannot stop making a fool of himself. (I doubt there can be criminal charges in the US against him, but Brazil certainly won't be welcoming him back anytime soon).

My take:

1. Got drunk

2. Fuked up the bathroom at a gas station (maybe it was already broken)

3. Confrontation with gun-toting security guard who demanded payment for damages and with Lochte giving him the $400 in his wallet. Keeps wallet and brings it back to the Olympic Village.

4. Tells mom that he was robbed.

5. Mom tells the press, and Lochte doubles down on his story without working out the details.

Check this out:

So 4 drunk swimmers destroyed a restroom door and toilet and a security guard insisted, having to use a gun, that they pay for the damages.

And letsrun speculates for 10 pages about sex with gay prostitutes. Wow.

Ahem, they were in the gas station bathroom for over an hour. Doing what, with whom? They couldn't use the restrooms at the club before they left?

Where does it say they were at the gas station for over an hour?

Why did they go to a gas station in the opposite direction of the village to use the bathroom. The club they were at had bathrooms. What was wrong with those? Something stinks, and it isn't the gas station restroom.

yes - because he had to empty out his pockets before going through the security checkpoint - and the footage showed Lochte taking his wallet out of hisp ocket and putting it into a tray.
