Lochte's robbery story doesn't hold water. Update: Brazilian police say they destroyed gas sation bathroom and lied to cover it

I think thunder thighs is right. I was in Cancun in 2013 and was jaywalking across the street. They had no problem with it. But when I got back to the US they issued me a citation for it. They caught me in a hotel web cam.

Wow, you shills really have to dig deep into the bullshit sometimes don't you? It must be tough writing something like that knowing tgat you come off as an idiot to anyone reading your post, but I guess your get paid well for it so there's that.

Anyways, your idiotic story isn't even consistent. If ochte lied about the robbery to cover the fact that he used his credit cards at a legal brithel, why did he have to mention that it was his CASH that was taken?

You are seriously out of your element on letsrun. You should go back to shill it up on reddit or something. It'll be easier money for you there.

Oh really? Where did he say only his cash was taken? His story has been flip flopping since day 1. First it was his whole wallet and more you are telling me it was only the cash in the wallet and the thieves took nothing else? He can't even keep his details straight and I don't think you can either.

Next thing you know it will be his bitcoin "wallet" that was taken.

Uh huh, right. So let me get this straight. A private hotel web cam caught you jaywalking. The hotel reviewed the footage and saw what you did. They put it through their facial recognition software and identified you. The hotel then contacted the Cancun authorities to turn in one of their guests for jaywalking. The Cancun authorities then notified the US government and they issued a citation for jaywalking. That's rich, man.

He took our money, he took my wallet -- he left my cell phone

His mother said he had his wallet taken but that was it (likely, the money was inside the wallet).

I said he specifically mentioned his cash. If he was trying to hide the fact that he used his credit cards in a brothel, he would have specifically mentioned his credit cards. I know you shills are only paid to write, but you could still try reading once in a while too.

OK, let's assume your version of events and that only his cash was stolen. Does that make sense to any one? A robber dressed up as a police man that points a gun to their heads and force them to lay on the ground (according to the swimmers version of events) and the robber or robbers (the swimmers can't even agree if there was more than one robber) didn't even take their expensive watches, or expensive phones, or credit cards and ID cards they can sell on the black market? Does that kind of robber make sense to anyone?

Does that kind of robber make sense to anyone?

Lochte's mother seemed to believe it.

Not sure about his bimbo GF. Gets to go to the Brazil, just to be shunned out of a Club France party as "guy's night out" --- that's gotta be suspicious to her.

Yes, that does make sense. Cash is king. I recently had my car with my wallet inside broken into at night. The credit cards were left on the seat, the wallet tossed on the floor and the GPS on the dash. All they took was the cash from my wallet. A lot of thieves don't want to risk getting caught by using a stolen card or selling something reported stolen. Cash is safe.

All they took was the cash from my wallet.

Except that Lochte was quite clear in version A of his story that "they took our cash, they took my wallet". So it's a false comparison.

1. I've watched some of his interviews. Somewhat below Phelps in the brilliance of his conversation (and that's not a high bar).

2. He probably was off partying without his GF, and didn't want her to know about his shenanigans.

3. In the course of partying he lost something that said GF would definitely find out about.

4. Made up the story on the spur of the moment as a cover-up for the loss, without thinking about the ramifications. Told his mother, and she blabbed it to the media. Then the sh*t hit the fan.

5. In the US this would have been lost in the noise. Even if the police had inquired they would have quickly seen through his simple-minded deception and that would have been that. In Brazil, they instinctively dislike Yankees, and in this Olympics specifically the Yanks have been rubbing their nose in it, and now Lochte is dissing their brand name one more time.. Enter the police and the judge making a mountain out of a molehill.

Try reading again. I did not say only his cash was taken. I said he specifically mentioned his CASH. If this story was concocted to cover up his usage of a CREDIT CARD at a brothel as you are ridiculously asserting, why didn't he specifically mention that his CREDIT CARD was stolen?

Yeah well, he also swore an affidavit that there were fake police putting a gun to his head. I don't think this would easily be swept under the rug.

Yes, but in #5 they are making things worse for their tourism industry by strong handling the swimmers.

Who would want to go there now?

Is this a country where if you get in a car accident you go to jail?

#6) His story is true, but his telling of it is scrambled because he has an alcohol problem and was hammered?

LOL ... got his pocket picked by a Rio hooker or tranny he was playing with.

Yep on the down low, Eddie Murphy style....

So one of the swimmers checked in to his flight but did not show up to the airport. Kinda sounds like he is in hiding....

He blew his wad on hookers and booze. None left to buy the GF anything before they left for home. That would not be the first time a guy used that type of story after a night out with the boys.

Yeah, because a grown man, who is also single based on his own statements to a national news publication two days prior, has to lie to hide that he did something perfectly legal.

So, exactly how much did Brazil's pr firm pay you to get on here and post your inane comments? Get out of here shill.

Getting a prostitute is illegal in the US. You can be jailed in the US for sleeping with a prostitute in a different country, even if it is legal in that country. US laws have jurisdiction everywhere.

Uh no, that is not correct. How exactly would the U.S. have jurisdiction over a U.S. citizen hiring a prostitute in Brazil when everything related to the prostitution occurs in Brazil? There are limits to the power of the the U.S. federal government to impose laws...

everything related to the prostitution occurs in Brazil?

Except if the funds for the prostitution were in US dollars, or intersected the US banking system (credit card).
