Ryan Locte robbed in Rio? Naw, he lied

[T REX]

I will believe it when I see it. I trust nothing I hear from Brazil.

The two other swimmers recanted. He's a dumbass and I hope the USOC permabans him and the others.

Embarrassing.

That explains the what he has to gain part, hoping this didn't get exposed.

I think the categorization of "moron" sums it up. In one fell swoop, Lochte has gone from this swimmer...



...to one of these swimmers.



And while I'm at it, what's with his Grateful Dead/Touch of Grey look?



If he'll wait long enough, his hair will on its on either turn grey or turn loose. No need to hurry the process.

 

[Zambo]

The concept of integrity is long gone from the American fabric.

 

[MidwestChomp]

A few things.

1) Why make up this ridiculous story?
2) Lochte is a great representative of UF
3) Goes to show if you're a great athlete and dumb as rocks you can get into any school.

 

[NavetG8r]

Well, this is embarrassing...

In the end they will be remembered far more for this fabrication than a fight with a security guard.

Fabrication? Perhaps you should speak with O.J. Simpson concerning what can be the law when you try to recover what you claim is your property at gun point? The story may not have been fully accurate, but at least in Nevada you put a gun on someone to recover your property that is called armed robbery.

It is amazing the sports mediots in this country are so dumb, not one of them can remember the most famous sports criminal case in US history.

I'm not too proud of the fact that he's a Gator today.

 

[Punto]

I don't think Lochte was actually lying.

He was probably totally wasted, and hardly remembers what happened. His "story" is probably how he actually thinks things went down.

I've been in that position many, many, many, many times (including last night), so, I totally sympathize.

Go Gators!!!

I can see that happening. Lochte telling his mom, I think I got robbed at gun point last night, and his mom running with the story.

 

[Gatorphan]

I'm not defending Lochte, but we haven't seen the video yet. Even if the swimmers were cutting up, it's not OK to pull a gun on them to get payment for damages.

When I posted the comment I had not heard anything about a guy trying to get his money back with a gun

 

[Gator Fever]

Video of them but they cut the part where security pulls the gun on them and the vandalism isn't on the video because of where it took place.

Bans him? I thought he was retiring anyway.

I'm rather surprised this silliness is that big of a story, even if it was made up. What's the crime? A misdemeanor for filing a false report? Or did they ever even file an official report?

Wringing hands that they "embarrassed" Rio is laughable. Rio did that just fine on its own with this abomination of an Olympics. The athletes are lucky to get out of that ****hole without a disease.

 

[GatorBart]

Another entitled athlete. Could he be banned by the olympic committee for the 2020 games if his story is proven false?

He wasn't even going to sniff the 2020 Olympics anyway. His biggest loss is reputation/endorsements. I think most of us can forgive a night of drunken idiocy - but to then pile on some concocted story about getting robbed with a gun to your forehead - pfffft! Good riddance - revoke that man's Gator Card. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I just got an alert Lochte has been indicted. Him and Feigen.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Ahhhhhh, yes, the Brazilian police pointed their guns at the ruthless swimming thugs who beat up the gas station security who tried the rob the thugs (when the swimmers wouldn't pay enough to use the bathroom) and then police robbed them--- ahem--- seized their wallets and money as evidence.

Completely different version of events. No problems here at all.

Start up the PR machines, shythole Brazil. This is what we get for agreeing to having the games in a South American country. All the cops think you owe tolls every time you pass one.

 

[Swamp Queen]

Now the notice that they have not been indicted yet. This is comical

 

[oxrageous]

It's ridiculous much ado about nothing. It's over, let the damn athletes get on a plane and leave.
