They estimated the bureaucratic cost of USA swimmer lies, in terms of internal investigations, swap-outs of police, et cetera, was over a million dollars. When you're a high-profile person and choose to call something a "robbery" with great publicity, unsurprisingly the Brazil cops took it seriously and made major realignments.

The major issue is still that Lochte filed a false police report.
Filing a false police report can lead to multiple criminal consequences. Many states call this charge "false report to a peace officer." It is one of the few types of speech that is not constitutionally protected. Lying to a law enforcement officer can result in a criminal conviction.
Depending on where you live and the extent of the deception, the criminal charge of filing a false police report can either be a misdemeanor or a felony. Cases that cause less inconvenience to police and other authorities tend to be classified as misdemeanors, while people who create greater confusion or harm by filing a false police report may face felony charges.
Charges
What is considered filing a false police report will vary slightly by state, but it’s generally what the name implies—lying to the police.
Minor infractions, like lying about a misdemeanor offense, usually results in a similar misdemeanor charge. Lying about felony offenses can result in felony level charges. Misdemeanor punishment can result in a sentence ranging from probation to a year or two in county jail. Felony punishment can also result in probation, but a much higher prison sentence, from two to ten years. Even though many people charged with the filing of a false report get probation.
Many false report charges come with severe civil penalties. Defendants, like runaway brides, have not only been given stiff probations, they have also been ordered to reimburse communities that expended funds to deal with the crisis created by the false report.
The bottom line is, despite how desperate your situation is, filing a false police report is not the answer and doing so can have long-term financial and criminal consequences. If you do file a police report and you later learn that information you provided was incorrect, contact the originating agency as quickly as possible to correct your mistake. The longer you wait, the more it will look like you were intentionally trying to deceive law enforcement. If you have been charged with filing a false report, contact a criminal attorney as soon as possible.

Why is this little blip of an episode getting so much attention when IOC European executive director Hickey of Ireland was caught scalping tix?
Do you think it was the first time this weasel did something to line his own pockets? Or that other IOC execs don't do the same or take bribes or kickbacks?
The information above is about filing a false police report in the United States. Brazil is acting much as the US would.

Because Hickey DID NOT file a false police report. Lochte did.
Did he actually file a false police report? How do you know? I would have advised him to say nothing to no one.
I would have advised him to say nothing to no one.
Before or after his public media comments on NBC? After that, he pretty much to either retract his story (and admit he lied to his mother), or go through with tall tale to the cops.
Failing to file a police report while alleging a "robbery" all over the media would be a serious inconsistency.
Rio cops and other authorities praise themselves in press release.http://www.tmz.com/2016/08/26/ryan-lochte-rio-cops-court-praise-press-release
Authorities in Rio really showed Ryan Lochte and his teammates who's the boss -- just ask Rio authorities, who are patting themselves on the back ... hard!
The Court of Justice in Rio believes its handling of Lochte-gate brought "international prestige" to its city and required "courageous action." We know this because the court actually fired off a statement to the media saying so.
Rio police similarly shouted out the efforts of Rio police ... saying they uncovered the "farce" of the Team USA swimmers' story.
The praise and adulation came 24 hours after Lochte was charged for lying to police -- a non-extraditable offense that Lochte has no intention of returning to Brazil to face.
But word among Rio's finest is ... they nailed it.
Tourism is taking off at the famous Rio gasmart.http://g1.globo.com/rio-de-janeiro/olimpiadas/rio2016/noticia/2016/08/posto-de-gasolina-do-caso-ryan-lotche-atrai-selfies-e-turistas-na-barra.htmlSee where Lochte peed!
The post came to enter as a tourist attraction in the package of a tour company in Rio, which charges $ 160 (about US $ 516) for a tour that includes the surroundings of the Olympic Park, the gas station where Lochte participated scenes vandalism, the Santa Marta and the Christ Redeemer, with a stop for lunch.

You somehow missed the part that a tour company is making bank on going to the gasmart. The gasmart is not making bank.

I agree. Trying skipping town when an active full-blown police investigation is going (at your instigation) in the USA, and see what happens.

So essentially Lochte becomes a version of Roman Polanski.
He now has to make sure that he only travels to countries which don't extradite to Brazil on such charges.

Of course it is a robbery when the cops acting as security guards aim a gun at the four and shake them down for $50.
You could say that the off duty cops made it possible for the on duty cops to pursue Mr. Lochte for a scenario that they in fact had created.

Lochte should know how the law works by now. He's been cited multiple times in the USA, and would know you can't just lie to the police and expect zero consequences.
So he has no excuse for lying about it (to his mom either).

He lied while representing his own country, and compelled a security guard (fearing for his own safety) to pull his weapon through boorish behaviour. Fortunately his friends were smart enough to offer to pay for the damages before the cops arrived.
He may have lost all of the sponsors he had prior to the "incident."
But things are looking up. Sex toys and cough drops are in his future!
I wonder how long before he'll be a porn star?
Ryan Lochte is a POS. He represents everything the world hates about white males.
He has been called back to Brazil by the police there. He could face prison time. I hope he gets a good one year in a Brazilian prison.
While he is there I hope those inmates teach him a lesson he will never forget.
He has already lost four sponsors, lets hope he loses them all.
Then comes back to the U.S. only be a convicted felon who has to live in poverty for the rest of his miserable life.
Stop and take a deep breath. We all know that Latchkey is a looser. He only won one medal and that was on a relay team. His swimming career is probably over.
Understand that he will never go back to Brazil and regardless of what happens in absentia he won't be extradited. No matter how the case proceeds in Brazil it will not have any bearing with respect to the US legal system.
He only had four sponsors to begin with and he lost all of those.
He has now progressed to this.
“Autoblow 2: The Masturbation Device Olympic Champions Chose.â€
“It takes years of dedication and practice to win one Olympic Medal let alone 12, so I see in him a man with qualities our brand stands for. I forgive him for his mistake and want to put him in front of an audience of men who admire him as the champion he is to help us promote the champion of masturbation devices: the Autoblow 2,†inventor Brian Sloan said of the offer. “The Autoblow 2’s tireless motor exemplifies the Olympic spirit much as Lochte did while winning his medals.â€
