Lochte Robbery Story: True or False

[Anonymous]

A step in the right direction:

U.S. Soccer suspended goalie Hope Solo from the U.S. women’s soccer team for six months for her divisive comments aimed at Sweden during the Rio Games, the organization announced Wednesday night.

Beyond the suspension announced publicly, Solo's national team contract was terminated after a 15-minute-long meeting with the federation on Wednesday, USWNT Players Association executive director Rich Nichols told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview.

So the outrage about Ryan Lochte is because of doing something dumb that inadvertently wasn't ideal for international diplomacy and the money it brings?

Did you hear there was a wrestling coach who stripped at an official meet in protest? Have we talked about how sophisticated he is about sushi?

The issue was not peeing outdoors. He lied about being held up with a gun held to his head and admitted that he lied - sorry, he said that he over exaggerated.

I hope he is banned from competitive swimming. He is a douche bag and a fucking disgrace.

Dp- I'm sorry that you are so unseccessful that you have to spew so much hatred toward a decorated Olympian. He was held at gun point. To is head or not is so very irrelevant.

NP. Decorated Olympian my ass. Americans much younger than him are currently scouring the afghan mountains and exchanging fire with people who would love to parade their dead bodies on the streets. Some of them will earn the true title of 'decorated' not some asshole who has his head in the water for far too long . Your dishonesty isn't really problematic here, it's the fact that people like you reproduce and likely pass that dishonesty to your offspring that's disturbing . Reducing this to one not being 'successful' shows how tragically dense you are. Newsflash : not everyone is interested in acquiring and accumulating material possessions that they won't take them once they leave this earth . You seem quite the sad human being

You sound bitter and jealous.

No, any person who assumes that being critical of Lochte means that the individual belongs to some other country is a complete moron.

I provided a link from Fox News which I figured was the authority for nuts like you and it said that Lochte had been indicted. You may not like that information but it is FOX NEWS! What more can you want?

The good news is that an ignoramuses like you who are clueless about other countries will gradually be a non-factor in this country. In the meantime you can continue to believe that Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim.

Wrong. You are asserting that Lochte is a criminal deserving of being robbed at gunpoint. People who believe in the rule of law are disagreeing with you. The fact that you bring up Obama and Muslims exposes you for the idiot that you are.

You obviously are unable to comprehend simple English.

I have never said whether Lochte is guilty of any crime. What I said is that he has been indicted by Brazilian prosecutors. Indictment does not equate to guilt even in Brazil. I have also said that if an American goes to a foreign country he/she needs to comply with the laws of that country and US jurisprudence and due process is not applicable. If that is not acceptable then stay in the US but don't go to a foreign country, break the law and then gripe about the judicial system of that country.

My comment about your likely views about Obama's place of birth and religion is because it is people like you who are dismissive of a foreign country's judicial system are the type of person who also subscribes to ludicrous nonsense about Obama. After all, you made the idiotic remark that if one does not like how we do things here then I should go to the "shithole" of the country from where I came. You cannot imagine that an American born and raised in this country whose family has been here for over a hundred years could hold my views.

Your idiocy is only exceeded by your ignorance.[/quote
You are both stupid and ignorant. Do you think you sound sophisticated ?

You would think the law and order crowd would say that he should go to Rio and face the music ........ the guy left his compatriots to deal with the legal mess that he created.

But he did say that he was very "hurt" that it happened to them!

Lots of posters are lawyers and, by definition, law and order types. Including me. If there were a strong chance of Lochte being treated fairly, then I would want him to go back to Rio. Since there isn't, I don't think he should.

NP. Nice deflection there. He vandalized an establishment , if he's such a stand up guy he needs to go face the music

Facing the music other than having people who were identified to him as law enforcement removing him and the other swimmers from a taxi and holding them at gunpoint until they emptied their wallets?

I've done some more reading, and that still doesn't seem to be appropriate application of the laws of Brazil. Having done that, and seen how his fellow swimmer was extorted, he's smart for staying away from the country. You (and others) seem to be skipping over the "held at gun point by authorities and robbed/extorted/fined" part.

He vandalized an establishment ,guns were not drawn out of thin air , a point that apologists like you are hell bent on ignoring . people get killed at traffic stops in this so called greatest country on earth of yours, pretty sure you don't jump to their defense especially when they're AAs. Feel free to deny it

Boy don't they. Also more than a little crazy. I don't see what people's military careers have to do with this story. This debacle has unearthed some really off kilter thinking with some people. No reasoning. No logic. It's just touched off some very deep anger, about totally non related things. I really hope the above poster is considering therapy. If they already are, they need to make a change, because there current treatment it isn't working.

He won't be suspended for 6 months. Both Solo and Phelps received 6-months suspensions because they had prior suspensions and didn't change their bad behavior. And in the case of Phelps, the idiot could have killed someone.

[Anonymous]

Just read that Lochte is going to be on Dancing with the Stars.....

[Anonymous]

The apologists for Lochte are just pathetic. They ignore facts, make disparaging remarks about a host country and are the personification of American arrogance.

Ryan Lochte is everything the world hates about Americans

Ryan Lochte — Ugly American with a truly ugly hairstyle — did it.

It hasn’t been easy being Lochte, who has had to spend his athletic prime competing in Phelps’ considerable shadow, who always has been The Other Guy, who always has had to resort to his inherent goofiness to stand out because even his impressive haul of 12 Olympic medals — six of them gold, including one in the 4×200 freestyle relay last week — looks like a pauper’s pile next to Phelps’. But it hasn’t exactly been hard; he’s dabbled in show business and reality TV, he dates a Playboy model, he’s made millions outside of the pool.

And if what the authorities say happened actually happened: a brawl with a rent-a-cop, a busted door, a little drunk-and-disorderly — did he really think that was going to hurt his reputation? That’s Whitey Bulger fretting over a jaywalking ticket. It’s ridiculous.

No, instead he cried wolf and was called on it, and that will be his burden to bear for a good long while — but not his alone. The Ugly American is alive and well in 2016 thanks to this dope. Thanks for that, Ryan. Now don’t let the bathroom door hit you on the ass on your way to Palookaville.
