She figures something is up and to get out of it he says oh we were out late because we got robbed! Etc... She worries tells the media and bam! Story gets leaked and Ryan has to cover his ass and act like it really happened.

They stayed on a cruise ship. They did not stay in the olympic village so this makes no sense. Not having phone on you is not a crime.

The basketball players stayed on a cruise ship. Not the swimmers.

Lochte is not smarter than my 10 year old.

The Lochte defenders are just as humerous. He isn't interested in your old, married ass.

I suspect this person has helicopter blades for arms.

So let's see

1. Sophisticated criminals robbed them. Savvy enough that they had police uniforms and badges.

2. These criminals robbed him but left him with his expensive watch and $1500 shoes

3. A cocked gun was pointed at his head and he took the opportunity to cock off to the robber

4. Lochte decides not to stay in Rio, where he would have been treated like a king for a week and come home instead


Let's just say I am not buying it.

News 4 just said there are discrepancies in the swimmers accounts.

If I had been robbed at gunpoint in a foreign city, I would be on the next plane out of there with a vow never to set foot in that country again. I agree that the whole story doesn't add up and is quite fishy, but him leaving Brazil is not one of the fishy parts, IMO. That could go either way.

Who says there are discrepancies? The Rio authorities? If so, be skeptical.

If he stayed in the olympic village, he wouldn't have had to wear pants all week if he didn't want to.

Truly the most unintentional insight into DC parenting I've ever seen on this board. That was a reasonable, probably assumption in that person's mind. Of course his mother was calling to make sure he was in bed in the village! What 32 year old's mother wouldn't?

And when he realized he had been caught out at night, he pretended he had been robbed because his mother thought he was a good little boy & he couldn't ruin the images

I'm one of the "defenders" but I have no sexual interest in him. I just think he and the other swimmers don't have a reason to make that up, especially not because his mother might find out he left the village.

I don't think you know much about South America. It doesn't take a sophisticated criminal to dress like the police (assuming he wasn't actually robbed by the police.) It is a SUPER common scam. The state department has travel warnings to many countries warning people of this scam. In some countries, people can buy police gear in any corner store.

Also, I don't know about you, but if I was done swimming in a disappointing Olympics and had just been robbed at gunpoint in a dangerous city, I would definitely call it quits and return home. He isn't treated too shabbily in the US, either.

I'm sure there are. Have you ever asked a group of 4 extremely drunk people to relay their night to you?
