I just read a NY Times article where the spokesman for the IOC says the robbery didn't happen. That comment makes no sense to me at all. I'm curious for more to come out in the next few days. Ps In fact it's the same article that the previous poster just linked.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/sports/olympics/ryan-lochte-and-three-teammates-robbed-at-gunpoint.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/

Lochte told NBC News. "We got pulled over, in the taxi, and t why guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over, Lochte said. They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didnt do anything wrong, so Im not getting down on the ground.

And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, Get down, and I put my hands up, I was like whatever. He took our money, he took my wallet he left my cellphone, he left my credentials.

What an idiot. The guy tried to get tough with street criminals in Brazil.

why do you think I'm laughing?!

 

In Brazil only police are allowed to have guns. I'm scared to find out how much of this has happened and got covered up

The whole story seems kind of weird to me from some the things I've read. With that being said, Lochte is part of the "bro" culture. The guy is dumber than a box of rocks. I'm sure it didn't go down quite like he said. He's most likely just trying to make himself sound tough. He probably was more cooperative than he claims, but he's worried he wouldn't sound "cool'". It's like the kind of story you hear from a guy at the bar drinking a corona with lime. What have the three other guys who were with him had to say? I can't find anything anywhere.

United Kingdom - about 20% of the population of the US. 56% of their medal total (with another guaranteed gold on Tuesday).

 

Max Whitlock is a god among men.

china 4X population, .5 medals

Didn't Usain Bolt tear his hamstring about two months ago? How does he still win the 100, when a pulled hamstring puts out an NFL player for almost that long?

Couldn't have been that bad.

 

Had to be a pull?

And it is just a few races... All in a straight line... Does that factor in?

Thanks. One sprint w/out a linebacker putting a chuck on you.

 

Big diff between football and running track. One is a draught horse and the other a pampered thoroughbred. Don't make it out to be the opposite. Football is a grind, sprinting track, just get ready for the burst.

 

No guaranteed contracts at the Olympics!

 

 

And rightly so. Would you want them to be tossed out like garbage after becoming a wrecked horse? The team is protecting their investment too. See: Strasburg w/The Nats when they shut him down.
