I'm still trying to learn what Lochte and his other 3 swim champ buddies did that night? I heard something that he was apologizing for his behaviour but didn't hear what he did.

They vandalised a toilet in a service station and then made up some story about being robbed at gunpoint to cover it up.

Sheesh, you wouldn't get professional sportmen behaving like that! ;D ;D ;D

Ha ha, well one commentator suggested that most athletes should be locked up in jail between sporting events for everyone's safety, and I don't think he was too far from the truth........... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

All would've been forgiven if they had just fessed up about it from the start. Instead though they come up with some crazy story and take the story public ..... as in world wide public and that is what has gotten everyone in Rio pissed off.

Kid? Rich, yes.  Lochte is 32 and worth $6.2M.   The prostitute story was BS but he has dated a Playboy Playmate...

The vandalism was Lochte ripping a poster off the wall of the service station and the 4 swimmers pissed outside instead of using the facilities.  Here is the part I don't get: They were held at gunpoint by a security guard for the service station who would only let them leave if they paid him for the "damages".  In just about every country in the world holding someone against their will at gunpoint is a crime but Lochte is taking the brunt of the blame.  In essence they were robbed at gunpoint but Lochte initiated the events by ripping the poster off the wall.  I don't understand why they didn't just go public with the real story.  Sure they look like ugly Americans but they were the victims of a crime.

That gives me a bit more perspective.. What Lochte did doesn't sound criminal. I wonder what the poster was?

Yes you're right that does put it into a little more perspective. Guess I've been taken in by press sensationalism over here. Oh well, at least the Olympics gave us something interesting to talk about for a change ;D
