Lochte Robbery Story: True or False

[Anonymous]

If Ryan Lochte was going to make up a story just to get out of trouble with his mom, why would he make it so fanciful with the robbers pretending to be police and everything else? He'd probably keep it really simple, we were walking out of an event, trying to find a taxi, and these guys mugged us. There'd be no reason to invent a story that would attract particular police interest if it ever got out.

What is wrong with some of you people? Are just tremendously unhappy and looking for fault where there is none?

Tell it to Brazil, they're the ones calling him a liar.

And Brazil's government has some pretty glaring motive for trying to cover it up (and a history in these Olympics of trying to downplay/discredit others who have reported violent crimes).

I kind of feel like he made up a lie to get out of trouble with his mom -- like a 15 year old kid. Could it be possible that he bought some drugs? Would they test for anything after his races were over?

Scenario -
RL calls his mom and asks for more money. She asks what happened to the money she gave him yesterday. He makes up a story about being robbed, even though it went up his nose?

He gets the other guys to corroborate since they were all using and don't want to get caught or stripped of medals.

He is a famous athlete with multiple endorsements, not a teenager on spring break. I don't think he is calling mom to have her wire some cash by western union. Ridiculous.

I believe it. It doesn't sound implausible. Moving on...

Tell it to Brazil, they're the ones calling him a liar.

Because they are embarrassed about this disaster of an Olympics, and want to shift the focus and blame to someone else.

Brazil is a shithole.

That said, his skills in life are his looks and his swimming prowess. Not his mental acuity.

Also, his mom--who seems like a VERY loving woman based on what I saw on the short-lived reality show Ryan starred in after London--is a sweet woman, but not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Poor woman was worried about her son after he told her that he was robbed. That's all. So she did what every good mother does...tells the news.

How do YOU KNOW THIS??????

Sometimes he gives interviews. And I religiously watched his reality show.

Riiiiighhhhhtttttttt and people on reality shows aren't always acting dumb on purpose....

Ryan Lochte is not a smart man. He makes Phelps look like a genius.

He's smarter, faster, and richer than you... So I'd say he is fairly intelligent.

If we are talking about Lochte, all that matters is that he is hot as hell and can swim.

Phelps, dude can swim.

I'd like a separate thread in which we examine the life of the person on this thread who thinks with absolute certainty that a 30-something celebrity multimillionaire athelete asks his mommy for pocket change and lies to her about going out at night. That's the real story here.

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?
