And people thought Phelps getting high was bad.

I hoped he doesnt get Lochted up for this.

#lochmess
I didn't mind Phelps getting high on his own time. Fact of the matter though, Olympians are on OUR time.

But seriously, what the heck really happened? On one hand, Rio wants to keep their "everything is good here, come spend your money" reputation, and on the same hand why would anyone make this up? It's more believable that actual Brazilian police officers robbed them, since they haven't been paid in months according to them, than that US swimmers made this story up.
There is no Safety nor Security anywhere. USA News is total farce...Propaganda deluxe under guise of full disclosure. At least the Chinese know they are oppressed and lied to. Want to know what is not going on in USA, Tune to CNN. Want to know what IS going on in USA, check foreign news.

I honestly wish everyone would quit posting pics of her and Trump. They both make me wanna upchuke.The thought of looking at or listening to , much less having our lives directed by either of them is,IMO, disgusting. I don't know what has happened to our country. Wish W would come back...............
1000X

Unfortunately we have all ridden this bus to the now seen end-of-the-road...Communism or some derivative.

I would much rather see Trump than Hitlery. She is the epitome of horrible in all respects. At least Trump admits to being a Flim Flam Man and occasionally his gorgeous and smart Daughter is seen.

Hitlery is Lying, Murdering, Scamming SO AND SO!
I would be just fine never hearing from her or Hubby Rapist ever again.

The Sheep lie asleep and the enemy is about to ring wake-up bell.

They now have video footage of the swimmers kicking a door down at a convenience store and causing all kinds of trouble. Security guard confronted then and the argued with him. Looks like they were the "bad guys" and not some robber. They weren't even in a cab. They have now been charged with filing a false police report. Keep in mind this all happened at 6am and it wasn't on their way to breakfast.

Dumb asses. How much endorsement revenue do you think they flushed, not to mention perpetuating the ugly American reputation we have with much of the world.

Drunk. Gun pointed at you and people speaking Portuguese demanding money. The story he told his mom probably neglected the fact they were wasted and damaged a gas station. Mom told news, story went boom. Yes they lied. Bet they never expected story to get this big.

Yes they may have lost some endorsements, but America knows them...that's worth money. They won't be hurting.

Partying til 6am, I bet they were not the only ones. 4 years of training, they are all letting loose. No excuse\ reason to damage the store door and sign though.

Rio is beautiful, but it's a sess pool of crime and police corruption.

They obviously broke in to the bathroom and then lied about it, but the Brazilian Authorities aren't telling the whole story either. I have seen the tapes probably 10 times on the news and I wonder, 1) Why were the swimmers sitting on the ground unless forced to at gunpoint? 2) How did the guards know how much the damages would be? 3) The damages were what they had on them, coincidence? 4) why isn't the taking of all your money at gunpoint robbery? Maybe they were robbed, just not how they say. From all of the gas station bathrooms I have been in, there not a lot of vandalism you can do.

The dude may have lost millions...may have...but he is still worth a few millions, hangs out with playboy models, and swims for a living.
Phelps lost money when he smoked pot, the said sorry, and got even more endorsements. Lochte isn't phelps, but he's not hurting.

Yep. Let's just make excuses for bad behavior. It seems to be what America is all about these days. From a few bad actors in Rio to our sorry excuses for Presidential candidates.

It seems to be the new American Way. I'm less than impressed.

I'm not sure if they lied or not to be honest. Video shows renta cop with a gun, everyone sitting down, then said cop taking cash from them. Who the hell knows

One thing I am sure of, 2 young American kids being held in a Brazilian jail are gonna say whatever the guys with the keys to freedom who are holding their passports tell them to. That part I guarantee

I smell a rat, the Brazis have a lot of tourism at stake, and they were surrounded by police controversy coming in, so I'm not convinced at all. But one thing's for sure, while Obummer is letting people out of jail over here, bet he won't interrupt his golf game to get involved in this.

Me too. Lochte's original story isn't too far off from what happens in the video keeping in mind those kids were hammered and aren't going to remember it extremely well. They were told to get out of a cab and handed over money at gun point. The fake officer ends up being a security guard, but Rio says he did indeed point his gun at one them.

It isn't like this doesn't happen down there on a daily basis.
