The Obama administration pushed this story today so this would slip by the wayside. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...litics/2016/08/18/us-says-400m-to-iran-was-contingent-on-release-prisoners.html

I agree. Nobody will touch that guy now.

"Loose lips sinks ships" comes to mind..they should have just kept there mouths shut and everything would have been fine. dumbasses just lost millions

 

[Hardwired]

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.

 

[Gottagofishin]

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.

He already has the cash, his com padres don't, they will be the real losers in this. I don't see him gaining any new sponsor's from this. he'll probably be dropped from the ones he has so hopefully he has saved well.

Fwiw,TMZ reported that the video was edited and they were indeed held at gunpoint until they paid up.

 

[OnedayScratch]

Man this is strange, why would they do such a thing?

Manzielitis.

 

[Fuelin]

These guys suck at making excuses. They'll now pay the consequences. They would have been better off just telling the truth. You'd figure a dude in his 30's would have learned by now

 

[fmlyfisher]

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

My kids have told me for a long time that he's dumber than a box of rocks.

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.

 

[fishinguy]

They did have a gun pointed at them and money taken but it is not as clear cut as their original story.

 

[Category6]

Clearly they did not get the message that foreign governments don't operate the same as ours, but I still smell a rat. Rio has way more skin in the game to discredit the swimmers than they did to manufacture a story.

 

[poppadawg]

The guy is a straight up attention whore. A real life narcissist. That's why his hair is bleached. That's why his version of the story portrays him as the brave one. Massive DB imho

best thing he could do is say he messed up. Got hammered drunk, acted foolish and is sorry. Pay for all repairs, say sorry again and ask for forgiveness.

He is not very smart. Ever listen to an interview with him? I can't believe has dumb he is.

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.

There goes the Speedo, and Nair endorsement money... Who wears short, shorts? :brew2:
